2-0 in a game! A dark horse in La Liga: 15 points in the top 5 and expected to compete for a European spot. Last year, he was relegated.

In the early morning of October 18, the first match in the 9th round of La Liga was played. As a result, Espanyol defeated Oviedo 2-0 in an away game. After scoring 3 points in this game, Espanyol's ranking has risen to fifth place and even has the opportunity to compete for a European war seat.

In the summer window of this year, the Spaniards were poached by Garcia and many other main players. The outside world once thought that they would face huge difficulties and would be relegated back to the Second Division at any time. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the season, the Spaniards were frantically grabbing points. After the first 4 rounds, they even scored 10 points like Barcelona, ​​and their momentum was once directly catching up with the two giants. Although the Spaniard's performance fell back later, they quickly regained their form.

In this game against Oviedo, the Spaniards turned away and continued to counterattack and create threats. In the 70th minute, the Spaniard's shot was blocked, and then the two sides scuffled in the Oviedo penalty area. Kick swept the ball towards the goal from close range. Although the home team's goalkeeper struggled to get the ball out, unfortunately the ball had already crossed the line. The Spaniard's goal was valid and the visiting team led 1-0.

After the goal, the Spaniards did not be conservative. They continued to counterattack. In the 82nd minute, Milia outflanked the back point and finally pushed the goal, completely killing the suspense of the game. In the end, the Spaniard defeated the newly promoted Oviedo 2-0 in the away game and successfully scored 3 points.

After this game, the Spaniard has scored a full 15 points in the first 9 rounds of La Liga. In the current standings, they have played one more game, and their points have tied with Betis in fourth place, ranking in the top five, and even leading Atletico Madrid by 2 points. This season, the Spaniard has become a super dark horse in La Liga. If they can continue to maintain this momentum of grabbing points, they will have the opportunity to compete for a European spot at any time.

‍ It has to be said that the Spaniard's performance really surprised the fans. At this time last year, the Spaniard was still the favorite for relegation, but fortunately, it successfully avoided relegation. No one expected that this La Liga team, which had lost many core players, would perform like this in the new season. Although it is too early to say that the Spaniards will definitely succeed, their performance in the first nine rounds has given fans enough confidence. You know, in the first 9 rounds, they have only lost to two strong teams, Real Madrid and Betis, and even defeated Atletico Madrid during the period. At least for now, the Spaniard's goal this season is definitely not to avoid relegation!
