Head duel for the ball in Las Gaunas /
Logroñés 0 Real Union 2
The goals of Pradera and Temenuzhkov in the discount gave the victory to the Gipuzkoan team
Golden victory of the Royal Union against an SD Logroñés that was not superior at any time, despite being until this day in playoff positions. Precisely, the team led by Aitor Zulaika is already pointing towards those privileged places, which has gone through three games without losing, and which has added seven points out of nine possible against important rivals. The Irundarra team continues as one of the best visitors in the category, after reaping 13 points at home, which serve to put it just two points behind the fifth position held by Unionistas, and only one of its rival, who fell to sixth position after losing for the first time at home.
Locked and even was the first part. It was difficult to find dangerous situations, but the teams expanded and began to leave spaces that the bandmen of each team took advantage of. The double pivot that Zulaika lined up with Beobide and Quique Rivero worked very well. Nacho also excelled in the band. From the right came the two most important opportunities. Both had Pradera as the protagonist. In the first, as soon as he started, he made a mistake in the delivery in a against three for one, and in the second he was about to head to a measured center by Santos with his left foot, which left him alone in the small area. .

The Rioja team enjoyed several arrivals with relative danger, but the only clear one was in the discount, with a double occasion. Sandoval found a hole through which to penetrate the area from the left, he shot but Irazusta stopped. The rejection was not final, since Emilio was left dead at the penalty spot, but he misplaced his foot, and the shot went very high. At rest, without goals.
After many attempts, the magical figure of Chema appeared. He drove marvelously, he left several rivals behind, he found Seguín who doubled him, so that he entered the area and put a golden ball to Pradera, which he only had to push. It did the Union good.
In the last fifteen minutes Zulaika made a triple change. Oyarzun, Llamas and Elosegi replaced Chema, Santos and Pradera. The team retracted five to ten meters. But he didn’t stop feeling comfortable. It was Temenuzhkov who rounded off an afternoon to dream of a real goal in the 92nd minute. From more than 35 meters he passed over the local goalkeeper.
