The First Contested Part
The difference of five steps between the two teams has hardly been noticed at the beginning of the meeting. The Brotherhood has not gone back and has tried to pull out the ball several times. The first warning from the Alavés has been given by Mariano Díaz, his shot from within the area has gone to the side of the net and on the local side has created danger with another heavy shot from Juaristi from outside the area.
Miguel Rodriguez was able to overtake the Alavés in the 16th minute, but his cross shot went away. The first goalof the match came in the 27th minute with a slap from Jonny Otto. Alain Sudupe failed to clear the ball.
In the 33rd minute, Aramendi saw a yellow card for a foul on Xanet Olaizola. Shortly afterwards, in the 36th minute, Mariano Díaz increased the Babazorros' advantage by taking advantage of a big deep Otto pass. The Dominican overtook Alain with a powerful shot to the first stick.
But the locals did not give up after receiving the second goal and shortened distances with a spectacular move before the break. Juaristi scored the local goal by taking advantage of a big pass from the band.
The Alavés decided the match in the second half
On the return of the locker room, after the struggle of the first few minutes, the Alaveses again widened the gap. In the 55th minute, Novoa put a great ball in the background to Aleña, who put a perfect center for the exact finish of Miguel Rodríguez . Almost in the later play Mariano Díaz made the fourth of the Alavés in another good play of the Babazorros, leaving the shock and the dispossession completely decided.
Aitor Mañas , who entered the field in the second half, scored the fifth and sixth goals of the Alavés; the first in a great individual move, and the second in a good pass. In the last few minutes, fans of both teams chanted the name of Aitor Zabaleta to recall the Royal Society fan murdered by the ultras of Atlético de Madrid in 1998.
