Resumen de Villarreal CF vs Deportivo Alavés (5-2)

4 years ago

Fernando Pacheco - Concedes five goals against Villarreal Pacheco made five saves but conceded five goals in Tuesday's 5-2 defeat against Villarreal.

Impact Pacheco will be disappointed to have conceded three times in the final 15 minutes after his side had capitalized on mistakes to erase a 2-0 deficit earlier in the game. He will want to bounce back after the winter break on Jan. 2 against Real Sociedad, which have scored 20 goals in 18 La Liga matches this season.

Joselu - Scores goal, assist against Villarreal Joselu scored a goal and recorded an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 defeat against Villarreal. He also made two clearances and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Joselu was integral to his side's brief comeback on Tuesday, setting up Pere Pons' goal just before halftime and then scoring the equalizer himself before his opponents ran away with the game in the final 15 minutes. Alaves are now winless in six La Liga games, and he will want to end that drought when his side returns from the winter break on Jan. 2 against Real Sociedad, which have conceded 20 goals in 18 matches this season.

Pere Pons - Scores goal against Villarreal Pons scored a goal and won one of two tackles in Tuesday's 5-2 defeat against Villarreal.

Impact Pons was solid in midfield Tuesday but his side couldn't keep up with his opponents' firepower, and Alaves are now winless in six La Liga games. He will want to refocus during the winter break and come back stronger for the game against sixth-placed Real Sociedad on Jan. 2.

Geronimo Rulli - Concedes two goals against Alaves Rulli made zero saves and conceded two goals in Tuesday's 5-2 defeat against Alaves.

Impact Rulli was beaten by strikes from Pere Pons and Joselu on Tuesday, both coming against the run of play from big mistakes by the Villarreal defenders. His side will want to clean up that sloppiness and resume play in January more focused, and he couldn't have asked for a better first opponent than bottom-of-the-table Levante, which have scored 19 goals in 28 La Liga matches this season.

Manu Trigueros - Records assist in win Trigueros took two shots and assisted a goal in Tuesday's 5-2 victory against Alaves. He also won two of two tackles, and he created three chances overall in the match.

Impact Trigueros grabbed his first assist of the season Tuesday in setting up Boulaye Dia's first-half goal against Alaves. He now gets a few weeks off before La Liga resumes in January, where he will face bottom-of-the-table Levante.

Alfonso Pedraza - Records assist in win Pedraza subbed into Tuesday's match against Alaves in the 73rd minute, and he took a shot, assisted a goal and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Pedraza was very dangerous during his roughly 20 minutes on the pitch Tuesday, setting up Gerard Moreno's final goal and creating four chances overall. He's been in and out of the starting lineup all season, competing with Pervis Estupinan and Alberto Moreno for the spot at left back, but Pedraza was very impressive against Alaves and may have moved up in the pecking order.
