Surprise at the José Zorrilla Stadium! The game had just started and Real Valladolid was already 1-0 ahead on the scoreboard. Christensen tried to clear a ball and ended up scoring the first goal for the home team against FC Barcelona in matchday 36 of LaLiga Santander. A goal that surprised Xavi Hernández and his coaching staff. The defender was worried about scoring against his own team and could only get up and keep playing.
Running the second minute of play, Plata sent a cross into the heart of the Blaugrana box. In his attempt to clear, the 27-year-old Danish player ended up scoring an own goal. A goal that made the José Zorrilla explode. Let's remember that Valladolid is fighting to stay in the Spanish First Division.
