Sacrifice and union to get back to winning ways

Valencia CF won (1-0) against Real Sociedad last Saturday at Mestalla. To achieve this, the support of the fans was key, as it helped the team to fight through it all. That sacrifice was reflected in the statistics that the Valencianistas players produced.

Several Valencia CF players reached or exceeded 11 kilometers of distance covered during the match against Real Sociedad. But, beyond this physical display, our players stood out in other data that show joint effort and sacrifice.

André Almeida and Hugo Guillamón were the Valencianistas with the greatest numbers in the game with a total of 53 and 49 touches of the ball respectively. In addition, Guillamón stood out in several defensive records, while Almeida did the same offensively with a 100% success rate in long movements, two key passes and five crosses into the box.

On the other hand, Samuel Lino and Hugo Duro gave their all in the offensive side while helping in defensive tasks from the first line of pressure. The Brazilian winger forced the winning goal, which was scored by Zubeldia in his own goal, and the striker from Madrid fought to exhaustion, being the Valencianista who won the most aerial duels and one of those who made the most tackles on the opponent.

Almeida, Guillamón, Lino and Duro were not the only players to excel. 16 players participated in the win against Real Sociedad and fought together with the coaching staff and the fans to achieve a very important victory.
