Cabrera stands out in Sarabia's Espanyol debut with passing accuracy

What happened

Leandro Cabrera was the most notable inclusion in Eder Sarabia's first lineup as Espanyol coach, according to the Spanish outlet AS. Sarabia's assistant, Jon López, sat on the bench in his place, but the lineup was attributed to Sarabia.

Report details

AS reported that Cabrera, a centre-back who has been a fixture under every coach across his 255 matches for Espanyol, was deployed as the only true centre-back in a three-man defence, alongside full-backs Omar El Hilali and Quilindschy Hartman. The outlet described him as seemingly alone against danger in that setup.

In that debut, AS reported, Cabrera became the game's leading passer, recording the third-best passing accuracy of his career. The source did not specify the opponent, the result, or the competition beyond its league identifier.
