Villarreal treated 9-man Leganes to five points – Betis and Vagecano remained in a draw

Big “double” in a strange match in Madrid! OR Villarreal destroyed with a score of 5-2 the Leganes away from home and remained in fifth place LaLiga after the 18th matchday. The score of the match, however, is… fictitious, considering how the match unfolded!

In particular, the “yellow submarines” were twice behind in the score, but they succeeded with a hat trick of Dear Barry to pull off the upset and take a 3-2 lead. In order to do this, however, Leganes had to receive a red card, which was seen by Oscar Rodriguez in 58′ for dangerous marking.

As if that wasn’t enough, in the 77th minute he was also sent off Jorge Saenth for the hosts, who were left with 9 players, as a result of which they conceded two more goals from them Moreno and De La Torre in stoppage time, which made the final 2-5.

At the same time in the Canary Islands the Las Palmas with the 1-0 against her Espanyol (67′ Ramirez) took another decisive step towards a comfortable stay, in relation to the Barcelona club which remains in a difficult position. A little later, Real Betis and Rayo Vagecano they stayed at 1-1 thanks to goals from Isco (37′) and Palathon (51′), with the hosts 9th and the visitors 12th.
