John Garcia
Effective
Shortly after Puado scored the first goal, he made an important intervention with his right foot, managing to touch the ball during the equalizing action.
Omar El Hilali
Under pressure
He had to face Rioja, who played as a full-back today, and Diego López, who hit the crossbar in the 35th minute and lost sight of the equalizer.
Plum
Reliable
As usual, he proved to be the best defender on the team.
Cabrera
Determinant
It was he who provided the decisive assist for the first goal. However, he showed some uncertainty in the defensive phase.
Brian Oliván
Consolidated
He was a fourth consecutive starter and is now just 11 games away from renewing until 2026.
Antonio Roca
Efficient
He recorded his first assist with the senior team in his second consecutive match as a starter, confirming his role in the team.
Justin Smith
In difficulty
He had to leave the pitch with 20′ to go due to physical problems.
King
In forma
As well as showing his usual presence on the pitch, he added a level of quality in his final passes, proving irreplaceable.
Jofre
Inaccurate
Starting from the left, he performed below expectations. He saw a goal disallowed for offside against Cheddira.
Cheddar
Growing
With Veliz out and Irvin Cardona struggling, he continues to earn a chance to be the starter at center forward.
Puado
Satisfied
He managed to score after wasting three clear chances. Now he is in the Top-20 of the best scorers in the history of Espanyol.
SUBSTITUTIONS:
Carlos Romero
Versatile
He started as a winger and finished the match in the full-back position.
Irvin Cardona
Invisible
His performances certainly did not match those of Cheddira.
Rafa Bauza had a marginal role. His participation was minimal. After a period of absence, he returned to the field, finding his place in a league match 25 days later.
