The Spanish league is full of drama and surprises every week, but one team has had quite the run in recent weeks. RCD Espanyol have been on a roll lately, winning two out of their last three games, which is impressive considering how much they've struggled this season.
One game that stood out was against Valladolid, where they were defeated 1-2. Despite having a strong squad, it was clear that RCD Espanyol could not handle the pressure of a home defeat. The defense struggled mightily, allowing Valladolid to score twice in the first half before halftime.
However, the team did manage to find a way back into the match after halftime. Wu Lei came on as a substitute and made a difference for the visitors. He scored the only goal of the second half, giving RCD Espanyol a 2-1 lead at the break.
Despite the victory, the team still faced another tough test against Guadalajara in the next round. They would need to play well to avoid a repeat of the same fate. The team played with determination and showed resilience, and they managed to come away with a 2-1 win over Guadalajara.
Overall, the RCD Espanyol's performance was commendable, despite the defeat against Valladolid. However, they will have to be wary of the pressure from the top teams in the league, as they face off against rivals Real Madrid in the next round.
