Espanyol still does not raise its head in 2022. Vicente Moreno’s team fell 2-1 at San Mamés against Athletic Club thanks to goals from Sancet and Iñigo Martínez, who made Tonny Vilhena’s score insufficient.
The Dutchman, precisely, was one of the highlights of the parakeet team in which, again, many flaws and individual errors were seen that cost another game without being able to score.
These are, 1×1, the scores of Espanyol in the Bilbao tempo:
Diego Lopez (5): The parakeet goalkeeper had some good intervention, but in the second goal he stayed halfway and cost the team.
Oscar Gil (5): Pure sacrifice on the side, demanding more than his physical capacity to go for the tie. It could not be.
Sergi Gomez (4): The participation of the central defender was weak, as he was unable to put a stop to the aerial game proposed by Athletic.
Leo Cabrera (4): It was very evident with Sancet’s goal, his chase being insufficient to avoid scoring.
Adrian Pedrosa (5): From more to less in the game, the lane was overwhelmed and with little contribution in the team’s offensive zone.
Morlanes (5): Of the players who completed the most passes, although few of them really with the intention of doing damage.
Sergio Darder (5): He ignored his mark during the play of the second goal. He had the tie, but Simón saved.
Melendo (5): Although he tried, the midfielder was involved in the fight in the midfield and had few opportunities for real danger.
Vilhenna (7): The highest mark of the blue and white team in San Mamés. He debuted his first start with a great goal.
Handful (4): After the great start assisting Vilhena for the goal, his contribution was less and less in the match and he ended up missing.
Dimat (4): Bad presentation of the battering ram in San Mamés. He had only one clear option which he missed with a header that he sent wide.
CHANGES: Lauren (4)did not change anything in the party procedure. Embargo (4)precipitated in its entrance. David Lopez (4)warned and overcome. Yangel Herrera and Wu Lei (sc)they had little playing time.
