• LaLiga. The classification of First

Things have tightened in the fight for the descent. Espanyol, Leganés and Mallorca are tied at 18 points, after the triumph of the Blue and Whites against the Balearic Islands, while Celta , with its last-minute victory against Sevilla in Balaidos, managed to peek into salvation.

Espanyol finally won at home in La Liga, in their 12th home game. Raúl de Tomás , the goal man they needed so much, was once again decisive. The rival, of course, seemed auspicious. Mallorca did not know, nor does it know yet, what it means to add a victory away from Son Moix. But, despite everything, it made things very complicated. The defeat, in his case, pushes him the relegation places and allows him to take some air to a Celta who was able to overcome the initial goal of En Nesyri , the first as Sevilla, with goals from Iago Aspas and Pione Sisto .

His first triumph in Cornellà-El Prat, although he did not allow him to leave the red lantern of the table, gives Espanyol a good number of reasons to dream of something that not so long ago seemed like a chimera: leaving the descent the next day. If he is able to take the three points in Sánchez Pizjuán, Celta falls on his visit to Bernabéu and Mallorca and Leganés lose or do not pass the draw against Alavés and Betis in Son Moix and Butarque, respectively, will escape the three positions that suppose the loss of the category.

VAR protagonism

The group that directs Abelardo and Mallorca staged a very disputed duel, in which the VAR also had its dose of prominence by invalidating a penalty favorable to visitors in the initial moments of the meeting, given that there was a previous corner. Espanyol, after an initial dominance of the Balearic Islands, harassed the goal defended by Reina and ended up finding the goal prize in the second half .

It was through a great play started in the band by Dídac , that he will miss the game next week against Sevilla by penalty. The defense action found its prolongation in a Darder center that Raúl de Tomás sent headlong to the bottom of the net. The locals had to suffer in the final stretch of the game, but they managed to add a victory that fuels their hopes of saving themselves.
