Morci marcó un golazo, pero no sirvió para nada

Overview

  • Introduced around the hour mark, Asier Villalibre scored in the 77th and 83rd minutes to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 win.
  • His first goal, a header from a Mantilla-flicked lateral free kick, stood after several minutes of VAR review.
  • The result delivered Racing their second victory of the season, matching a perfect six points from two fixtures.
  • Villalibre's tally puts him level at the top of the early scoring chart alongside teammate Andrés Martín and Albacete's Agus Medina.
  • Coach José Alberto deployed Villalibre as a bench option after limited minutes last season at Alavés, and the striker celebrated the comeback with the traveling Racing supporters.
