There was no trace in the last months of the best version of the classroom and when very few expected it, at the most unsuspected moment, the … Salva team Puig released a great game to knock out the regular league leader and put up the quarterfinal qualifier in the race for the title. With advantages that came to be eight goals, the classroom must keep the guard next Saturday to defend six goals of rent and make history in the domestic competition.
The guard will arrive with that appointment, which on Wednesday was surprised and surpassed by the energy of his rival, which barely suffered a small bird measured the second part. Behind her, and auged by the thrust of a turned tier, the Valladolid recovered their resolve to get a more than respectable advantage before facing the second leg.
With a choral game in which all players offered their best version, including the sobriety of Alicia Robles in goal -where no one missed Mamen Sanz, goes down a feverish process -the classroom is a step of certifying the surprise of the season and writing another page in the club’s history.

Jorge Escudero Santiuste and Jesús Escudero Santiuste. They excluded Amaia and Marcela by local, and Amores, Palomo (2) by visitor. One of the referees went to the table officer, something unusual, to complain about the screams of an amateur. This same referee showed Savina Red for impacting the face of a rival (minute 57). -

Incidents:
Ida of the quarterfinals of the ‘play-off’ for the title. King Huerta. In the prolegomena, the club recognized the work of Borja Lara at the head of the Municipal Sports Foundation, two weeks after leaving office.
Saved the fire bullets that were guess in the last match of the regular league, the classroom was willing not to let out the control of the game and that happened to impose its own rhythm from the start, aware that it was not going to be easy to keep it during the sixty minutes. Opposite was the leader, and that is major words. It was not an easy task to surprise a team capable of dominating the competition with solvency, an average of 26 goals in favor and only 21 against.
But the plan was served. The bet, brave and at times shameless, went to play from you to you, raise the level in the front line supported by the Romero-O’Mullony tandem, match his game, suffocate his game by the center … and exploit the extraordinary moment that Marcela crosses, capable of lifting a wall in six meters and also to act as a descador and be a reference in static attack.
O’Mullony and one of the referees, sad protagonist in the final stretch.

With the Brazilian as the main bastion on both sides of the track, the classroom knew how to handle the times with peaks that reached a maximum income of 8 goals (21-13, minute 33), and a single lagoon in which the guard could exercise the leadership exhibited in the regular phase (22-17 after a 1-4 partial). Special mention deserves the Master Class offered by Martina Romero in the position of Central, alternating their passes to the pivot looking at the laying with other filtered between lines to break the 6-0 visitor in the most delicate moments. Martu put the icing on his spectacular game with 5 goals, in a choral performance that must be endorsed in 72 hours in A Sangriña, the Galician temple where this year has only been able to win Bera Bera.
