A goal from Pere Milla, who lives his own redemption, and another by Roberto Fernández seemed to direct Espanyol for a placid night in Cornellà. The team flew, dominated the Mallorca, found depth for the bands and felt. But the duel turned a turn in a matter of minutes: penalty for Mallorca, expulsion of mile and arreón of Muriqi to match the score in the final section of the party. What was a quiet flight became a resistance exercise, and Kike García appeared between vertigo to transform a penalty and seal a triumph that keeps Espanyol in a cloud this season (3-2). The Perico triumph catapults the third team in the League, in Champions positions and tied with Barça behind Real Madrid, which he will face next weekend. And also holds the community with his hobby, which responds to the good moment of his team.
The starter had a bermellón color. Mallorca wanted to send, but as soon as the intensity of Espanyol resisted a few minutes.

And generate the first goal: precise rosemary center and subtle mile touch, enough to overcome Leo Román. The goal confirmed the transformation of the striker, of the chronic substitution, to sign three goals in four games.
The Mallorca did not have the same offensive capacity, and did not find gaps between the defensive rear Perica, very attentive. After the goal, the visitors shrunk and locked in their defensive line of five, and the Espanyol smelled blood. This time, by the right wing. Roberto Fernández, headline ahead of Kike García, had notified with a shot to the crossbar five minutes from the start of the match, and did not forgive in his next opportunity. A long serve from Dmitrović ended at Dollan’s feet, whose poorly calculated center by Leo Román allowed the nine to push with his thigh for the 2-0. The Rugía stadium, and the team felt comfortable.
It flew to the third goal. But the atmosphere suddenly changed in just five minutes. Pol Lozano grabbed Jospeh in a stopped ball play and the collegiate said penalty. Muriqi, serene, transformed and cut it away. And after the goal, Milla protested an action in which he had fallen to the ground and Alejandro Hernández showed him the direct red.
The flight of the locals threatened to crash. With one more man, Mallorca overturned over the area of a retired Espanyol and found his lighthouse in Muriqi. Striker Kosovar, after a pumped center, won the aerial duel and beat
Dmitrović, his great rival throughout the second part. The tie seemed to punish the Pericos, but Espanyol refused to surrender. In a last jolt, Kike García transformed a penalty and returned the advantage into a completely crazy final stretch. The RCDE Stadium broke out: from the joy to relief, the team led by Manolo González managed to close a triumph that reinforces his flight and that leaves them in third position, sleeping in Champions positions.
