“League” adds a third day in a row against Valencia (0-0) | CD Leganes
Leganes added a point in the match of the ninth day of LALIGA EA SPORTS against Valencia (0-0). Oscar had the best chance of the match in stoppage time: his shot hit the post. Lega adds a third day in a row.
Borja Jimenez made two changes to his squad compared to the eleven players last day in Vallecas: the team included Jorge Saenz and Neyu, who had already recovered from injury, in place of Nastasic and Tapia, who were not involved in the call-up. Leganés performed well, got into gear in the opening minutes and made the first option for Haller in the 12th minute from center Roberto Lopez, which was denied by Che’s defence.
Valencia responded with Thierry’s shot from the left in the 25th minute, which was sure to interrupt Marko Dmitrovic, who was playing his first game as a cucumber player in Butarca. Due to a lot of play in the midfield and few shots into the penalty areas, the first half ended in a goalless draw.
Liga took the lead in the second half thanks to several dangerous attacks.
The second half started unchanged, and again with small runs in the first quarter of an hour after the restart. Direct play and defense prevailed over creativity in both teams, who were unable to generate dangerous moves. In the 58th minute, the game on the left flank between Alti and Javi Hernandez was all but over, and in the 61st minute it was Cruz who struck from the front with a left-footed shot that went wide of the goal.
In the 62nd minute, Borja Jimenez made his first change, bringing on Miguel for Haller to freshen up the attacking line. And in the 64th minute, Roberto Lopez scored after Juan Cruz’s pass narrowly missed. Butark came to the fore with nearly 11,000 spectators who nearly filled the Cucumber Hall. Already in the 70th minute, Brasanac replaced the tired Neia in midfield.
Oscar hit the post with the most accurate shot of the match in stoppage time.
The game entered the final quarter of an hour and they both had an opportunity to take three points. In the 83rd minute, Borja Jimenez ran out of subs, bringing on Cicco and Oscar instead of Cisse and Juan Cruz. Dani Gomez got it for Valencia in one of the few arrivals of the Valencians, and already in stoppage time the clearest goal came against Lega with Oscar’s shot, which crashed into the left post of Mamardashvili’s goal.
There was no time for more, and Lega improved for the third day in a row and took eight points in the table. Their next match will take place after the international break, on Sunday 20th (16:15) at the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium against Atlético Madrid.
