The article reports on a football match between Elche and Espanyol, where Elche secured their first league victory of the season. Nino scored two goals, while Chust conceded an own goal for Espanyol. However, Elche played most of the game with a player fewer due to a substitution. The young Croatian representative Matia Baržić Guiterrez made his debut in the 77th minute, which could signal increased playing time for him under coach Anselmi.
