Video: Awaziem’s error cost Leganes against Valladolid in La Liga return

Super Eagles defender Chigozie Awaziem and Leganes shot-stopper Cuéllar gifted Valladolid’s Enes Ünal as early goal during their 1-2  La Liga defeat on Saturday.

The encounter which took place at Butarque saw the away side net the opener in the first few minutes of the match courtesy of the huge mistake between the pair.

Leganés started the resumption after a three-month break in the worst way. They saw Valladolid go in front in the 2nd minute after a huge defensive mistake.

It was a passage of play from Valladolid with no apparent danger. A ball towards the back which Awaziem got to first with a clear advantage, as well as a Cuéllar who came out his own box to clear.

The Leganés defender and goalkeeper didn’t understand each other, who this time couldn’t blame the excessive noise. The defender did so with a hand signal to the goalkeeper and then touched the ball with his head towards the area.

The problem came when he didn’t see that Cuéllar had come out to clear the ball. Ünal caught up and went for the ball in a race while the goalkeeper had a head start.

The Real Valladolid forward only had to tap the ball in as neither Awaziem nor Cuéllar were able to catch him in the 2nd minute of the match.
