The Sestao River advances with a firm step

The Sestao River does not fail. The green-black squad managed to redeem themselves from their last defeat against Real Sociedad C and achieved their second victory so far this season. They beat San Juan 2-1 in a match where the Navarrese were able to take the lead in the early stages from the penalty spot. Barandiaran saved his own, who knew how to compose themselves to achieve a deserved victory. The Sestaoatarras had the situation under control at all times except in a frantic final stage where both teams scored consecutively. In this way, they continue unbeaten in Las Llanas, where they have beaten Laredo and now San Juan.

San Juan began the match overturned. They had a lot of impact on the left wing and found their back behind the green-black on several occasions. It did not take long for the first approaches to the goal of the local team to arrive. Even after seven minutes of play, Burusco managed to dribble over Barandiara, who tripped the striker committing a penalty. The goalkeeper, who had just made a mistake in the previous match, redeemed himself from that mistake and saved his team’s furniture by stopping the maximum penalty. Lezaun was in charge of the launch, but the Leiotarra guessed his intentions by making a brilliant stretch to the post on his left and prevented them from getting behind.

Little by little, the Sestao River was feeling more comfortable and gaining meters. It was then that the domain changed sides and the Sestaotarras began to take the initiative. They were successful and profited from the first clear chance they had. It was a set piece. In the 22nd minute, Aitor Villar hung up a good ball from a side free kick and Gaizka Martínez volleyed practically unopposed from the far post to open the scoring. Already with the 1-0, Gorka Garai was able to extend the income after the half hour of shock with a distant shot at ground level that left a few centimeters.

The midfielder also had a good chance a few minutes later, but his shot was high. The Sestao River was superior in the calculation of the first half and deservedly went to rest ahead. On the other hand, when only three minutes of the second half had elapsed, Iribarren was able to spoil the party with a great shot adjusted to the post that forced Barandiaran to make another great save. The Sestaotarras returned to the charge and were able to gain tranquility with a cross from Néstor Salinas who did not find a finisher and walked just in front of the goal line. Goti was the next to try his luck with a shot with a lot of thread, but Marín intervened by putting his fingertips and rejecting a corner.

Frantic ending

The meeting seemed doomed. No noteworthy event occurred and both were limited to feeling each other. The Sestao River seemed to have the situation under control. However, a few minutes from the end, Unai Bujan made a great play down the left wing that culminated in a definition at the short post to beat Marín and extend the lead. The fans breathed a sigh of relief, albeit for a short time. Irigibel closed the gap just a minute later with a cross shot after a counterattack. The nervousness was present in the discount minutes, but the green and black solved the ballot and achieved the victory. They remain undefeated at Las Llanas.
