Granada and Cádiz breathe in a disastrous day for Mallorca and Alavés

Direct Chronicle

The fight for permanence lived three very interesting chapters in this 35th day.

The great beneficiaries of it were Granada and Cádiz, who achieved two vital victories against Mallorca (2-6) and Elche (3-0), while Alavés experienced a debacle in Vigo when they fell to Celta (4 -0).

The Galician team certified the permanence.

With Levante's victory on Friday against Real Sociedad (2-1), six points separate Alavés, bottom, from Granada, the first team saved.

Levante, penultimate, is five away, while Mallorca, third in decline, is two behind Granada itself when there are nine points left to play.

In the final played by Mallorca and Granada at the home of the Balearic team, the Andalusian team achieved a momentous victory to escape the burn (2-6).

It was Aitor Karanka's first triumph on the Andalusian bench and confirmation, moreover, that Jorge Molina's goal is eternal.

The striker became, at 40 years and 15 days, the longest-lived footballer to achieve a double in the First Division.

He also equaled Donato by scoring two goals with more than 40 years.

Molina reached 10 goals in the league competition and Granada took a breather against a direct rival, achieving the biggest victory away from home in its history in the First Division.

The Andalusians are placed with 34 points.

Javier Aguirre's Mallorca showed a tremendous weakness in defense and with this defeat fell to relegation places.

Celta left Alavés very touched (4-0).

The Basque team, led by Julio Velázquez, had no chance against a Galician team masterfully led by Denis Suárez and Aspas.

The former gave two goal passes in Celta's first goals, achieved by Galhardo and Aspas himself in the early stages of the match.

Celta, who certified their permanence by reaching 43 points, resoundingly beat Alavés, who remain at the bottom after Levante's victory on Friday against Real.

Cervi and Aspas increased the difference with two new goals against a rival with one less due to the expulsion of Ximo Navarro in the 66th minute. Aspas reached 16 goals in LaLiga.

Cádiz played a splendid second half to defeat Elche (3-0) in a victory that leaves them very much alive in the fight for permanence.

Elche, who with 39 points is practically saved, kept the 0-0 score thanks to the good performance of their goalkeeper Badía, who, however, had more complications in the second half.

Everything changed in the 66th minute with the expulsion for a direct red card of Ponce, Elche striker, as soon as he jumped onto the pitch for elbowing Luis Hernández.

Cádiz threw themselves into attack and Negredo opened the scoring in the 80th minute. Rubén Sobrino and Lozano certified the Andalusian victory.

Cádiz leaves the relegation zone and with 35 is three behind Mallorca (32).

Cádiz plays an almost definitive match next Thursday against Real Sociedad in Anoeta.
