Valencia 2-2 Espanyol: Espanyol was relegated from La Liga on Sunday. The club from Barcelona was on course to win against Valencia for a long time, but got the lid on the nose in extra time. The equalizer in Mestalla made a return to the second level inevitable.
Espanyol is relegated after a blistering denouement against Valencia
Valencia did good business in recent weeks and left the relegation zone, but was not out of the wind due to the defeat at Real Mallorca. A loss to Espanyol would return relegation worries in Mestalla, where Justin Kluivert was in the starting line-up. The home team took the lead with some luck. Keeper Fernando Pacheco let the ball slip out of his hands after a cross and saw Diego López open the score.
Due to the standings at that time, Espanyol was virtually relegated. Despite a predominance of Valencia, the visitors managed to equalize. César Montes headed in from a cross from Leandro Cabrera. Shortly after the break, things got even better for Espanyol. Martin Braithwaite, who came on at the start of the second half, tapped in after goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili released the ball.
Espanyol had what it came for, but did not go home with the three points. Samuel Lino plunged the visitors into mourning with the important 2-2 in extra time. As a result, Espanyol dropped to the second level after two seasons.
