València
The Bats on Tuesday have met with Ebro, the team which represents Segunda B (the third division) within 1/16 cup-finals of Spain. On the 29th minute of the match the hosts were left shorthanded but they opened the score after one hour.
However, the time that was left was enough for the Oranges for gaining the victory– the double has been gained by Santiago Mina.
In the championship of Spain Marcelino Toral ‘s team remains the main fans of draw outcomes. They have met in the previous round with Athletic, having won once again only one point – 0:0.
The draw with Athletic became for Valencia the eighth in 10 matches of the current season of La Liga. At the same time the same number of defeats in the championship has been suffered only by two teams – Barcelona and Atlético Madrid (one each).
The Oranges take the 14th place in the table with a lag from a relegation zone in three points and with a lag from the Eurocup top-6 in five points.
The participation in this match of the Russian midfielder Denis Cheryshev is still under a question.
Girona
The White and Reds were fighting against Alaves. The vice-leader of the championship of Spain on the 88th minute has made the score 2:1 in its own favor but the Catalan club has restored equality during the injury time– 2:2.
Girona has spent the last home match in the national championship against Rayo Vallecano. The hosts had no serious advantage either in ball possession (44%), in number of shots on goal (on 14) or in shots on target (6-5) but have gained the final victory 2:1 thanks to Cristian Portugués’s double.
For the White and Reds the victory in the previous round of Primera División became the third in the current season while Eusebio Sacristán’s team has lost the same number of matches. Girona is ahead of the closest opponent with two points.
The participation of Christian Stuani who has scored 8 goals out of 12 is under the question. The same thing is about Cristian Portugués. Forward Anthony Rubén Lozano is disqualified.
