And also Koke’s record match, the Villarreal veteran’s hat-trick and the boredom in Valencia.
Matchday 14 of the league has ended. He will be remembered for a brilliant match in San Sebastian, a great goal against Barcelona and Andrei Lunin’s miraculous save. About these and other events – in our material.
Match of the day: Real Sociedad – Sevilla
The match in San Sebastián began with a curiosity: the visiting goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovich tried to shoot the ball after a free kick from Ander Barrenechea, but it went to his feet and from there into the goal. Halfway through the half, Umar Sadiq was able to score the first goal after an injury, and it turned out great: the Nigerian carried the ball and sent it into the top right corner from about 30 meters away.
At the end of the hour, the Sevilla team closed the gap thanks to the action of Youssef En-Nesyri and a few minutes later the Moroccan was on the verge of scoring the double. However, Sociedad was saved by the post, which absorbed a powerful blow from the visiting striker. The spectators did not see any more goals, but at the end of the match the players gave in to the fire: first, Sergio Ramos, for some reason, jumped like an animal at the feet of Bryce Mendes, and then Jesús Navas tried to challenge the referee’s decision, both received red card, leaving Sevilla with nine men.
2-1 – the Basques continue their quest for the European Cups, while the Andalusians barely surpass the teams in the relegation zone.

Heroes of the Tour: José Luis Morales (Villarreal), Isco (Betis)
Villarreal this season seems extremely insignificant: before the match against Osasuna, they only won three matches, defeating the 17th, 19th and 20th teams in the league. Before the international break, the “Yellow Submarine” fired its second coach this season and, under the “new” coach, Marcelino García Torale, produced perhaps the best game of the current season.
Speaking of Marcelino at Villarreal:
Villarreal already has its third coach of the season! He encouraged Cheryshev and was suspected of an agreement
The key to the victory was veteran José Luis Morales, who scored a hat-trick. The 36-year-old Spaniard scored for everyone: in empty spaces, after a solo pass through midfield and with a dribble that surpassed two defenders. It is not surprising that the Keramika stands applauded him during the change.

Isco’s exploits on this tour are a far cry from what Morales did, but overall throughout the entire season he definitely deserved to be in this category. The midfielder is experiencing a renaissance at Betis, being by far the team’s best player since his arrival as a free agent.
In the match against Las Palmas he participated in the green and white’s only goal: he opened up well and was able to score himself, but the goalkeeper saved his shot. But the goalkeeper did not have time to react to José de Willian’s shot.

Goals of the day: Unai López (Rayo Vallecano), Mason Greenwood (Getafe)
We’ve already talked about Umar Sadiq’s impressive goal, but there were several other surprising goals in this round. Unai López hit the Barcelona goal with all his heart: the Rayo midfielder hit the oncoming ball with all his strength from afar, which with his foot flew along the exit path and left Iñaki Peña, who replaced the injured Marc -André ter. Stegen, out of work.

The English striker, reviving his career in Spain, hit the goal of distraught Almeria in luxurious style: Greenwood received the ball on the right flank, moved to the center and sent the ball into the far corner from the corner of the area. Maximian had no chance: the ball flew with such speed and precision that it was simply impossible to repel it.

Salvation of the Tour: Andrey Lunin (Real Madrid)
Who knows how the match in Cádiz would have turned out for Real if Lunin had not missed Rojer Martí’s shot. However, the Ukrainian goalkeeper knew how to deflect the ball and did it in the most effective way possible: Andrey reached the ball with his far hand and passed it to the corner, preventing a sure goal. At that time, the big man’s lead was only one goal – Andrei’s save helped to preserve it and then increase it.

Remaining matches of matchday 14 of La Liga
Granada remained in the relegation zone and offered practically no resistance to Alavés. The result of the match was decided in the 55th minute, when three unanswered goals hit the visiting goal. Only towards the end of the match Murto Uzuni converted a penalty, and this goal was the last of the Andalusians with Paco López: after the match, the 56-year-old specialist was fired and Alexander Medina took his place.
One shot on goal for two teams in 90 minutes: that’s basically all you need to know about the match between Valencia and Celta. If you haven’t seen this match, you haven’t missed anything interesting. If you saw it, I hope you were able to get some sleep.
This match was marked by a great anniversary: Koke became the first player in Atlético’s history to play 600 games for the Club. The Madrid team did not disappoint their captain, not without difficulties in getting the next three points in their field. The author of the only goal was Antoine Griezmann, who finished off a Mario Hermoso cross from the left wing. Thanks to this victory and Barcelona’s failure, Diego Simeone’s team rose to third place in the standings.
And now only four points separate Madrid from the first place, because Girona could not maintain its advantage in the match against Athletic in the last game of the tour. This advantage lasted only 12 minutes: shortly after the break, Viktor Tsygankov successfully finished off a cross from the left wing, but Iñaki Williams allowed the Basques to come back and take a point away from Montilivi. Now the Catalans are once again on par with Real Madrid, but they are below due to the defeat in the head-to-head confrontation.
