BarcelonaGood start to the season for Espanyol in the Second Division. The parakeet team, again accompanied by a generous expedition of loyal fans far from Cornellà-El Prat, prevailed with great solvency at the Mirandés stadium and adds, in this way, seven possible nine points in the which must be the first steps to recover the category lost just a few months ago. He was better than the opposition in every facet of the game and, awaiting the reinforcements that must arrive before the close of the market, he looks to the future with some optimism. At the moment, he feels comfortable in Segona, a very tough, very long and even competition. And this is a positive symptom to face it and leave it as soon as possible.
In a very entertaining first half, Luis García’s team, who will always want to dominate possession, had more presence in the opposite field. Under the baton of Nico Melamed in the attacking phase, the parakeets came close to scoring in several actions. The clearest one came from Jofre Carreras, who received the Spanish-Argentinian in the area and defined too much cross in front of the goal defended by Luis López. This opportunity would be a harbinger of what would come later. Only in the final stretch of the first part did the locals tread with some danger in Fernando Pacheco’s area. At this point, the most important opportunity was given to the winger Juan María, who shot narrowly wide from the half-moon of the area.
Positive lead from two home players
The dynamic was maintained in the second half and the prize arrived in the 58th minute after a few warnings smothered by the home defense. Jofre Carreras, who last season precisely attacked Anduva – and who changed sides due to the entrance to the lawn of the debutant Salvi Sánchez -, received a tense and vertical pass from Keidi Bare in the three-quarters area. The Girona winger drove from outside to inside and found the net with a low, strong and placed shot that Luis López couldn’t stop. With the score down, Mirandés tried to stretch in attack, but Espanyol did not suffer too much in any of the actions that Alessio Lisci’s team tried to beat Pacheco. In covering duties, the Catalans appreciated the fantastic role of Omar El Hilali, a young home-trained right-back who started for the first time this season. He unseated Óscar Gil, who has a well-prepared competitor.
