La Liga Team Of The Week — Week 9

Alright, we are back again for another Team Of The Week and I’m a bit late cause I got caught up in the U.S. Pres­i­den­tial Election.  Hopefuly, a nation’s for­tunes has changed with the out­come of the elec­tion.  Same could be applied to the La Liga Team Of The Week.  The TOW that played matches and/or made head­lines dur­ing the week of Oct. 27 - Nov. 2.

Real Rac­ing Club de San­tander

The team from the north­ern autonomous com­mu­nity of Cantabria killed 2 birds with one stone in their 4–2 road vic­tory over 1st place Valen­cia. The first bird that fell was Valencia’s unbeaten record and the sec­ond was Racing’s rel­e­ga­tion place. Rac­ing sealed the win with a hat trick from Burundi born and future Bel­gian inter­na­tional striker Mohammed Tchité.
 

The 3 points ele­vated Rac­ing out of rel­e­ga­tion and knocked Los Che from 1st place and from the ranks of the unbeaten.  Vil­lar­real is now the only unbeaten team in La Liga.  To go on the road and beat an unbeaten 1st place team when you are strug­gling with rel­e­ga­tion this early in the sea­son is a fine result. This vic­tory could be result that changes the Racin­guis­tas sea­son for the bet­ter.  So give it up to Real Rac­ing Club de San­tander for their 4–2 win at the Mestalla to become the La Liga Team Of The Week.
