04/03/20 v Valencia (H) 1-4
Once again Valencia are ruthless and give us a lesson in finishing in front of a full house at El Helmantico. They took the lead after just nine minutes and controlled the game until three goals in ten minutes with a quarter of an hour left blew us out of the water. Johan Lugo managed a consolation goal in injury time.

09/03/20 v Athletic Bilbao (H) 4-2

An excellent game as both teams went for the jugular and we came back from being down with only ten men. Johan Lugo put us ahead early on but we were reduced to ten men when Diego Llorente was sent off after just 25 minutes. Bilbao equalised a minute later and then took the lead after an error from Gael Perea, but Lugo scored his second to send the teams in level at the break. Jose Artiles put us ahead early in the second half and with a quarter of an hour left Bilbao were reduced to ten men, with Lugo completing his hat-trick from the resulting penalty. Lugo was named MOM and in the team-of-the-week.


His red card against Bilbao is the final straw and I fine and transfer-list right-back Diego Llorente. His performances over the last season-and-a-half have been average at best and his disciplinary record shocking.

He responds by saying that he wants to stay, so I tell him if his performances improve I'll consider it.


15/03/20 v Barcelona (A) 1-1
Take that Barca. The game followed the usual pattern of Barca dominance and despite holding them goalless at the half they took the lead after 55 minutes. However instead of the floodgates opening they were reduced to ten men after an hour and Alex Serrano popped up to equalise from close range with ten minutes left.


The game against Barcelona was Johan Lugo's 204th appearance for Salamanca, breaking Urtzi Iturrioz's club record.


21/03/20 v Atletico Madrid (A) 0-4
Back down to earth with a bump as we were comprehensively beaten by Atletico. Early defensive errors from Victor Bertomeu and Gael Perea handed Atletico an early two goal lead, with them three-up at the break. Gabriel Barbosa then completed his hat-trick after 52 minutes, after which the game petered out.


Johan Lugo's second goal against Athletic Bilbao is named La Liga goal of the month competition for March.


A tough month of opponents so two good results and two bad can't be sniffed at, but the amount of goals conceded can. We still sit comfortably in mid-table:
