Ibai Snatches It At The Death At Valladolid
Ahorrible game between Real Valladolid and Alaves was won at the death thanks to a header from Ibai.
People were already leaving the Estadio Jose Zorrilla believing that they’d witnessed a goalless draw, only for a cross to be nodded home to give the three points to Abelardo‘s side.
In the first half, in which nothing of note happened other than two defensive actions by Nacho and Laguardia, one for each side.
New Valladolid owner, Ronaldo Nazario, sat pensively in the director’s box, and watched a match that was the polar opposite of the quality the Brazilian used to produce in his pomp.
The referee signalled four minutes of injury time at the end of the game, and in that period, both sides had chances.
Guidetti looked like he’d headed the winner for Alaves, but the chance was well saved, whilst at the other end, the home crowd screamed for a penalty which wasn’t given.
That left Ibai to silence those left in the ground, including Ronaldo.
