Víctor Fernández Júnior steers Valladolid past Córdoba (3-1)

Real Valladolid found their finishing touch against Córdoba, winning 3-1 at José Zorrilla on matchday seven of LaLiga Hypermotion, even though Latasa missed a penalty. The game started badly when Miguel Rubio’s clearance ended as an own goal, but the home side still mounted a comeback powered by Víctor Fernández Júnior and Arnu.

A comeback built on goals

Arnu equalized after a left-wing build-up and a well-timed run into the box. Víctor Júnior then made it 2-1 with a clinical finish from a great cross by Arnu. The lead could have grown from a spot-kick awarded after a foul on Víctor Jr, but Latasa sent his attempt over the bar. Barberá sealed the win 3-1 with a header from a corner.

Coming off a heavy defeat to Real Oviedo and a painful draw at Ceuta, Valladolid got the boost they needed. Mundo Deportivo highlights Víctor Fernández Júnior as a key figure, scoring with the first team for the first time alongside Arnu and Barberá.
