U1st players made an excellent impression in round 9 of La Liga. It is worth mentioning Federico Fazio, José Ángel Crespo and Adriano Correia's performance in Sevilla's 3-0 victory over Valencia CF. It was young Crespo first La Liga game this season and he definitely made the most out of it.
Goalkeeper Notario and central defender Álvaro Mejía both impressed at Real Murcia's critical victory over Recreativo Huelva.
At San Mamés, Betis earned a draw against Athletic Bilbao with Juande Prados directing his team from a central midfield position.
Andrés Guardado was not good enough to take Deportivo to winning ways at the Bernabeu were they suffered a 3-1 defeat.
