Enthusiastic and fearless, this Espanyol wants to do everything at maximum speed. But that uncontrollable vertigo also turns against you in the form of anxiety when plans don’t go as expected. Against Tenerife he did everything to win, but once again the lack of offensive forcefulness led him to frustration. It was of no use to him to be superior and deserve more. This is the Second Division and being better is not enough. Luis García’s team lost its unbeaten record, which continues to seek balance in the areas to be decisive when and where it should be.

The match raised the curtain with Espanyol intense in their pressure in the opposing half, as daring as always and eager to impose themselves from the start. The draw against Eldense had touched the pride of a team built for promotion and needed to be compensated. Thus, in the first 25 minutes, Luis García’s team printed a dizzying pace that allowed them to generate a multitude of chances. Only the haste in the auction prevented the match from being decided in their favor. On the contrary, it was Tenerife, less exuberant and more selective in its advances, which obtained an excessive prize.

The ghosts reappeared in Espanyol’s goal when it was a buried chapter. Since Pacheco’s arrival, tranquility has been the norm. But in Tenerife, the goalkeeper was the subject of a television summary when he gave a goal to Enric Gallego when trying to dribble on the edge of the area. Absurd play and another goal conceded due to a mistake of their own at this start of the League.

Before and after, Espanyol was a better team than Tenerife. He generated more and better, but he finished much worse. As happened against Eldense, the parakeets created countless scoring opportunities, but Pere Milla, Braithwaite and Puado missed in front of the rival goalkeeper with everything in their favor. The three starting forwards enjoyed the clearest opportunities, but dangerous arrivals were constant, and Juan Soriano, Tenerife’s goalkeeper, had to work very hard.

After the initial half hour of madness, Espanyol slowed down and took refuge in patience to find solutions. From there he tried to enter inside to finish on the wings, and thus good opportunities arose in which the centerers made bad decisions. In one of them, Omar asked for a penalty for a clear knockdown inside the area.

After the break, Luis García’s team lost clarity in its ideas. Tenerife retreated without complexes and spaces were increasingly difficult to find. Melamed touched the goal with a shot inside the area after a good run by Puado. And with Espanyol overturned, Tenerife penalized the spaces in defense on the counterattack. Pacheco had to avoid the second with a quarter of an hour to go due to a shot from Gallego.

Luis García tried everything for his team’s comeback, trailing on the scoreboard for the third consecutive game. But the changes deflated Espanyol until the final push. From a set piece, Puado once again had the tie. The youth player, the team’s top scorer this season, finished wide from the penalty spot. Cabrera had the last one in stoppage time, but this time it was impossible, and Espanyol lost its undefeated status. New exam that fails the parakeet team, exuberant in form, but weak at heart, which must continue seeking balance to grow
