He Valenciawho came tenth with twenty-three points, left with Guillamón and Canós, who have gained prominence in recent dayswhile Marcelino’s Villarreal, which was thirteenth with nineteen points, jumped with the intention of starting to improve.
Valencia’s entry into the game was unbeatable. With clear ideas, energy and determination, the team Rubén Baraja arrived quickly at the yellow area, where, after four minutes, Yaremchuk made it 1-0 in a packed Mestalla. Pepelu threw a ball into the area from his field to Gayà who, masterfully, gave back to the Ukrainian, who shot Jorgensen.
Valencia wanted more. Yaremchuk, with confidence after scoring his first goal in the League, stayed close to signing a double in a turnaround maneuver who left for very little. Villarreal was overwhelmed.
The problems were accumulating for Marcelino’s team, which had to change the ex-Valencian player Albiol, who arrived touched and left to applause, by the re-debutant Bailly (m.17). The first dangerous chance for the Castellón team, which was constantly falling offside, was a double left footed shot by Gerard and Alberto Moreno, but Mosquera and Mamardashvili rejected each attempt.
Gayà, Yaremchuk and Canós continued to be incisive on the left wing and Villarreal suffered more and more. Before half an hour was up, Hugo Duro was knocked down in the area by Terrats and Gil Manzano did not hesitate to award the maximum penalty. From eleven meters, Pepelu cheated on Jorgensen to mark the second.
The Valencians played with discretion. Without rushing, the locals played a simple, fast and combinative game, the complete opposite of their rival, who was lost until the last minutes in which they pressed with a shot from Bailly who left outside; another from Alberto Moreno that Mamardashvili stopped; and a goal by Morales that was disallowed for offside to leave with a good feeling at the break.
After passing through the locker room, Villarreal seemed to take control of the game, but it was a mirage. Although with less rhythm, Valencia remained determined and firm in its goal to overcome of the Villarrealense team. And so he did.
