The incredible debut of an 18-year-old Brazilian

The main event in the championship of Spain on Wednesday was the change of leader. “Athletic” from Bilbao on the road failed to beat the modest “Leganes”, and “Real” instantly took advantage of this. Zinedine Zidane’s wards at home inflicted their first defeat in the Osasuna season. The guests kept their goal intact until the 36th minute, but then a very important ball was scored by Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian delivered a beautiful blow from outside the penalty area, which turned out to be productive with the help of a rebound.

And after the break, 18-year-old Rodrigo was noted for his magnificent cream debut. The young striker came on as a substitute 20 minutes before the final whistle and with the first touch sent the ball into someone else's goal - 2-0.

Atletico from Madrid also won, who scored only one point in the last two rounds of the Examples. This time, the Madrid team managed to calmly outplay Mallorca on the road. As part of the team, Diego Simeone distinguished Diego Costa and João Felish. A little overshadowed by the meeting for the guests the removal of a substitute Alvaro Morata. The forward managed to get two “mustard plasters” in a minute and now will miss the match with his native “Real”.

Thriller with Cheryshev on the bench

But “Valencia” Denis Cheryshev for the second time in a row played a draw in the championship of Spain. The team’s series without victories in the national championship has already been three matches, although in the Champions League, Albert Selades’s wards started just from a trump in the away game with Chelsea.

This time, “bats” at home could not beat “Getafe”, although they led to the break - 3: 1. The hosts didn’t even bother with the ball conceded in the first minute. They answered him with three of their own, which took only ten minutes. At the same time, the double was designed by Maximiliano Gomez, who in the debut of the meeting came on as a substitute for the injured Kevin Gameiro.

However, in the middle of the second half, guests were already fired with a doublet, and as a result, the rivals parted in peace. But Cheryshev did not appear on the field. For the second game in a row Denis holds examples in stock.

A successful start for the Russian goalkeeper

But another Russian legionnaire made his debut at the core of his team. 22-year-old goalkeeper Ivan Zlobin, playing in Portugal, for the first time in his career left in the starting lineup of Benfica. A graduate of CSKA moved to the team from Lisbon back in 2016, but was content with games for the farm club, although recently he regularly got into the application.

And so, in the League Cup match with Victoria Guimaraes, Zlobin finally got his chance and took advantage of it one hundred percent. Opponents could not break through the domestic goalkeeper, and the meeting ended in a goalless draw. At the same time, the main goalkeeper of Benfica at the moment is still the Greek Odysseas Vlachojos, who conceded only three goals in the first six meetings of the national championship. But it’s Zlobin who is now likely to be his successor, and not the 20-year-old Belgian Mile Svilar, who made his debut for the Lisbon at the age of 18.

Fifth victory of Inter

In Serie A, Inter continues to strengthen its leadership. Neradzurri is still the only team in the Italian championship that did not know the loss of points. So in the match of the fifth round wards Antonio Conte with a minimum score beat Lazio. The only goal in the middle of the first half was scored by Danilo D'Ambrosio. The defender joined the attack and his head closed the canopy from the flank. It is noteworthy that in matches with the Romans, he scored his sixth point for performance (2 goals + 4 assists). This, along with Bologna, is Danilo's “favorite” team.

Well, the best player of the match can rightfully be recognized as an experienced goalkeeper of Inter Samir Handanovich, who made several excellent saves and helped his team win another victory.

The defeat of one of the main pursuers, Napoli, improved the mood of black and blue fans even more. Neapolitans at home managed to concede “Cagliari” with a minimum score, having conceded a single ball in the 87th minute.

A good “lottery” for “Manchester United” and seven goals “Chelsea”

In England, the next matches of the League Cup. If on the eve of the tournament there was a real sensation (Tottenham lost Colchester United from the fourth strongest division), then there were no surprises on Wednesday.

Most confidently spent his game Chelsea. Londoners sent seven goals into the gates of the modest Grimsby Town. Double managed to draw Misha Batshuayi. It is also worth noting the goal and the assist of 19-year-old defender Rhys James, who made his debut in Chelsea.

A much more modest victory was won by Liverpool. The current Champions League triumphs sent just two unanswered goals into the goal of Milton Keynes Dons. The opponent’s goal was able to hit the experienced James Milner and 17-year-old Ki-Yan Hoover.

Incredibly close to failure, Manchester United was mercilessly criticized at the start of the season. The team of Ole Gunnar Solskher took Rochdale and could not do without serious hassle. The hosts for a long time could not open an account and opened the opponent’s goal only 20 minutes before the end, but almost immediately missed the return ball. As a result, the fate of the meeting was decided in a penalty shootout. Fortunately for the Red Devils, they managed to get together and escaped the fate of Tottenham Hotspur.

But the West Ham season, which started well, frankly failed in the match against Oxford United, which represents the third strongest division. Londoners managed to miss four unanswered goals from an inferior opponent in the class, all of which flew into the goal of Roberto Jimenez after the break.

PSG sensational defeat

Well, perhaps the main sensation of the game of the day occurred in France, where PSG, the leader in League 1, lost to Reims at home. True, the Parisians looked slurred in the previous two matches, with Strasbourg and Lyon, but they pulled out victories in the endings thanks to Neymar's luck and skill.

This time, luck from the wards of Thomas Tuchel turned away, and the Brazilian did not manage to score. In general, it seemed that the Parisians simply could not properly tune in to the match and were punished for it. Misfire PSG allowed to establish dual power on top of the standings of the sensational Angers, who beat Toulouse on the road.

Effective greetings from Promes

And the former Spartak midfielder Quincy Promes continues to delight fans of Ajax. The footballer moved to the team from Sevilla and quickly became one of the leaders of the young team. It was he who opened the account in the victorious match of the Champions League with Lille. In addition, Quincy managed to score a couple of goals in the championship of the Netherlands.

On Wednesday, Promes caught the inspiration at all and was noted for three accurate punches in the postponed match of the fourth round of the Eredivisi with the outsider Fortuna. Now on the player’s account in all tournaments at the start of the season there are six goals and two assists. Moreover, this hat-trick was for Quincy only the second at the club level. He designed the first as part of Spartak in the match against Anji.
