Enzo Barrenechea set up a crucial winning goal for loan club Valencia over the weekend, as Carlos Corberán’s side triumphed 2-1 over Real Valladolid.
The Argentine assisted teammate Umar Sadiq just before the hour mark at the Mestalla on Saturday, to help Los Ches to all three points, moving them clear of the La Liga relegation zone.
Barrenechea clipped the ball over the top to Sadiq from a deep midfield position on the halfway line, and the Nigerian brought it down and finished past the goalkeeper to put the hosts ahead for the second and final time in the game.
