Alaves put and end to their poor form and secured an impressive 2-0 win away at Cadiz in La Liga on Saturday afternoon. Joselu’s sixth-minute penalty put the men from Vitoria into the lead, before he doubled his and Alaves’ tally in injury time.
Both sides had four shots on target but Cadiz dominated 61% of possession and registered eleven shots in total. The only statistic that matters, however, is the scoreline.
