Girona is not doing well against Cádiz, as in the first half the home team scored two surprising goals (Gonzalo Escalante and Sergi Guardiola) and is taking an important victory in their fight to avoid relegation in LaLiga Santander. In this context, Alexander Callens, one of the latest signings of the visiting team, made his official debut in Spanish soccer by replacing Bernardo Espinosa.
The Peruvian defender was requested by his coach Salvador Fúnez - who is temporarily replacing Michel Sánchez due to a two-match ban - and replaced the captain of Girona. The panorama does not look easy at all, as the Peruvian National Team center-back will have to deal with a match with the score against them.
Remember that the former New York City player arrived in Iberian football after six years in Major League Soccer. This is not the first time he has played in Spain, as he previously played for Real Sociedad, playing in the Third Division, and Numancia, having minutes in the Second Division.
