League Two: all the favorites start with victory

Having shared the strike's first day with the First Division, the new League Two season started off on Friday with an emphatic 1-4 victory at home from Elche Cf of Girona FC. The Catalans, who last year achieved their highest ranking in history with a creditable second 11th place, suffered in the flesh that Elche is the team that was more like that mepezara League. Elche The team stayed at the gates of promotion last term after losing the final ascent to the promotion of the Granada after drawing 0-0 on the road and 1-1 at home.

The Pepe Bordalo pulled too hard and put in just 16 minutes upside down Montolivi City with two goals, the first after taking advantage of a rebound Etxeita and the second thanks to a header from Angel. At the turn of the Girona rest pulled one back with a goal from Rigo but just three minutes later relocated Pelegrin the difference in two goals. Finally, in the fifth minute of injury, Beranger closed the scoring with a fourth goal that puts Elche as leader of the Liga Adelante.

Second is the Real Valladolid, another of the clubs that grazed the First Division to be eliminated precisely because of Elche in the first game of pay-off for promotion. Miroslav Djuckic thrashed the home of Gimnastic Tarragona with three goals in just eleven minutes. The pucelanos were much higher than the Catalans and scored in minute 32, 40 and 43, half of Jorge Alonso and Alberto Bueno Madrid's squad, which scored opened and closed the scoring in the magical minutes of blanquivioleta.

Following the order of the ranking we find the Celtic, the other team that played in the promotion play-off (falling eliminated the first hurdle by Granada. The game played in New Condomina was matched for the first time, although Vigo always carrying the weight of the encounter. Galicians were advanced with a goal from David Rodriguez on 29 minutes, but only one after Kike equalized for Murcia. But at the stroke of halftime, De Lucas marked differences with both discount. Already in the second half, the Globetrotters Hospitalet settlement to his former team with a free-kick that nailed a difficult angle into the top corner of the far post with a grass-missile network.

Another called to be up the newly fallen Hercules, solved his return to the Second Division with a 2-0 win over Cartagena, with many alleys and Sardinero. The Juan Carlos Mandi were better from start to finish, but they could well turn the game not because he saved a penalty Falcon Álvaro Antón when the race was still alive in the initial equalized. The next opponent of Hercules is Depor, the penultimate of our protagonists.

Deportivo La Coruna returned to the Plate Division after two decades of success in the elite of Spanish football and did so with a tight 1-0 win over Recreativo Huelva to more than 20,000 spectators having surpassed the barrier of 25,000 partners, more than double any other team in League Two and one-third more than it had last year at first. And the best part is that almost 60% are under 30 years.

The new Deportivo José Luis Oltra showed his change of style in relation to the age Lotina, with two wide-open interior, a defense to try to start the play without resorting to patadón as standard and free of any obligation Valerón defensive reserved for the you do as anyone else: make his teammates play. To highlight the new pair of midfielders, veteran of Second Jesus Vazquez and Alex Bergantiños squad, which has earned a place in the eleven Oltra thanks to his great season. The Holy Family was the best party and, if so, will the sportsmanship we take so much, a reference player in the quarry that we look too kindly. In this regard I would like to know the opinion of people who are not fond of Depor.

However, there cossqeprcnqencen do not change. Riki continues to merit to his number becomes the 011, because face-to-door is a true zero (and even then was being replaced applause ...) Guardado, meanwhile, continues to their statistics dribbling out of twenty attempts, but the mysteries of life, also left the field cheered. Before each on samples of recognition (or something), the writer had the impression of watching another sport different from most attending the Riazor Stadium.

And while Depor was superior to his rival during the first hour ended with a physical game slump that nearly ending up in disgust. He saved the draw or worse by an immeasurable Aranzubía who returned to give points his team with two paths before Paradon chances of Fidel and Pablo Sanchez. Finally, sportsmanship celebrated the victory of his team on his return to Second aware that there is still a long way to go and much to suffer.

Finally, it remains to outline the victory over Villarreal B 0-2 Barca B at the Mini Stadium, with so many Airam Lopez in the first half and Porcar in the second. The Blaugrana subsidiary could get interesting as the meeting had before it a penalty to close the score, but Taylor missed the occasion.
