The locals took the reins of the game from the beginning, looking for depth from the wings, with protagonism distributed between Nacho, on the side, and Plata. And they sought to surprise Riesgo with good centers, the clearest one, that of Nacho to Óscar Plano, whose shot was deflected by the Leganés goal after a great intervention.
Those of the technician Pacheta they constantly created danger, with good recoveries and with that possession of the ball that allowed them to play in the opposite field. But the Madrid team began to press, looking for a Blanquivioleta error, and the Valladolid team had to shift their attention to the defensive plane.
Of course, he maintained his drive in attack, with an active presence of Luis Pérez from the right side, and great security in the center of the field that, once again, Agugado and Roque Mesa controlled.

The lack of definition blanquivioleta continued to give wings to the Madrid, who arrived in danger to the local area, although Bautista’s shot was safely intercepted by Masip. The game was still too open and any detail could modify the result, but this would not come, which was worth to those of Pacheta Weissman’s lone goal to win consolidate in the promotion zone and closely follow direct promotion.
