In football you can go from calm to restlessness and back to stillness in a jiffy. Yesterday, in the best game of the season per game, that’s exactly what happened to Llagostera. When it seemed that he had done everything in the 80th minute with a 3-0 against Hercules thanks to the goals of Guiu Sascha and Sergio Cortés, in just under ten minutes the Alicante team was able to equalize the score. It went from the burst of exultation to the nerves that causes to see how a goal of the rival could collapse an immaculate season. However, Barça always go to the tailor on important days. Yesterday, once again, like so many others, they dressed in the work frog to avoid the fourth goal and thus take out with sweat and blood, for the effort, and tears, after the final whistle, a tie that has taste of Primera RFEF.
The great feats of football. Sleepless nights, looking at other results, making impossible calculations … In short, the epic. This is how Llagostera’s season could be described: champion of the Copa Federació, runner-up in the Copa Catalunya, putting Espanyol on the ropes in the Copa del Rey and being two points away from competing in the promotion to the Second Division. And if all this were not enough, it was the last day of the second phase depending on himself. Therefore, yesterday’s appointment at the Municipal had to emulate the great afternoons of glory such as the promotion to Second against Nàstic with a comeback included in 2014. The fans knew it and did not fail. With the measures and restrictions by the covid approximately 500 fans, among them 100 of the Hercules, adorned of azulgrana color and white-and-blue the bleachers. There was a lot at stake: to accompany Cornellà to Primera RFEF. That’s why from the start both teams went all out. Alsina, with a usual approach, made only one variation: introduce Diego on the left side to give depth and help Duba to dump the whole attack on that side. In fact, the under-19 international with Belgium diluted the present unrest of matches of this nature. With a gallop he got rid of the defender to, with a square and a bevel, put the ball to Guiu’s head. First goal and it was minute 8. Hercules needed two to fade the dream. The tension was thick, as if it were morning fog. Up to seven yellow cards were seen in twenty minutes, and several brawls. Mark only saw danger on one occasion, when Moses rubbed the stick with a header. In the rematch, and showing off the deployment of one of the best matches of Llagostera dealing with the ball, the Cortés-Sascha connection appeared. Now he was on the other side, but always from the corner of the local bench as if listening to the spirits and feeling the breath of his teammates gave him a boost. The 7 attended the 9 to overcome Falcón in the 52. Without waiting for the rival, the Llagostera wanted more. Duba did, undoing and devouring rivals as he wanted. In one action they were able to stop him, however, in a non-regulatory manner. Penalty and goal by Cortés, 3-0 and certified match. Or so thought the fans who directed songs from “a Primera” or “Pitu, Pitu”. Benja, a former Barça player, made it 3-1 at 80. We had to hold on. Sidoel put the 3-2 at 84. Ten minutes, the ascent was visualized on the horizon. Benja, unhappy to comply once the famous law of the former, put the ai in the heart with the 3-3 to 89. The added six minutes, in which half were played due to discussions and loss of time , seemed like an eternity. With the final whistle, joy, tears, chants and even the field invasion took over a Municipal that will see, or not, the Llagostera next season in Primera RFEF.
