RCD Espanyol starts LaLiga 26-27 with a landslide win
RCD Espanyol has kicked off the 26-27 LaLiga season with a resounding 3-0 victory over Levante. A brace from Roberto Fernández and a stunning goal from Dolan sealed the win in a match dominated by the pericos. The team, which finished last season in tenth place with 38 points, has shown a strong start under the leadership of Manolo and Monchi.
What happened in the match?
Espanyol didn't take long to open the scoring. Before the fifth minute, Roberto Fernández took advantage of a free kick from Expósito to score the first goal. The Cordovan, in the absence of Kike García, has become the team's offensive reference. In the 40th minute, Roberto scored again after an assist from Javi Hernández, sealing the 2-0 before halftime.
In the second half, Dolan finished with a stunning goal that made it 3-0. The team showed great understanding in midfield, with standout performances from Hinojo, Cala, and Javi Hernández. The defense, led by Riedel and Unai Núñez, kept a toothless Levante at bay.
Why is it important for RCD Espanyol?
This victory is a boost for Espanyol, who are looking to consolidate themselves in the upper half of the table. The team has worked hard in the transfer market, bringing in players like Hinojo, Cala, and Javi Hernández, who have already shown their worth. The absence of Kike García, who is injured, has not been a problem thanks to Roberto Fernández's good form.
What comes next?
Espanyol now faces a demanding schedule. With 37 goals scored and 48 conceded last season, the team is looking to improve their offensive and defensive balance. The next match will be crucial to maintain the good pace and continue adding points in the fight for European positions.
