One point and thank you. Sporting rescued a draw (1-1) in Huesca ten minutes from the end thanks to a right foot from Pedro, after repeating past mistakes and leaving Abelardo’s return halfway, with a lot of work ahead. The Huesca team went ahead as soon as the second half began with a corner kick, the umpteenth that punishes the people from Gijon, gripped by nerves. With the game broken and in the middle of a bombardment of the Aragonese box area, Aitor had the winning goal in added time, but ended up crashing with the goalkeeper.
Cuéllar won the pulse of the goal and Pedro Díaz ended up situated on the right wing. Continuity under sticks and change of system. There was no trivote, the rojiblancos started with the two forwards who formed together on Thursday in Mareo: Djuka and Aitor. The rest, what was expected to visit a Huesca without qualifying incentives and several protagonists already looking to the next season, in which the coach, Xisco, already announced, weeks ago, that he would not continue. A priori, everything in favor in an Alcoraz with less than five thousand in the stands and whistles to their own after the first passing errors. Meanwhile, in one of the funds, a hundred rojiblancos fans clap their hands every time one of Sporting approaches.
The vertical team demanded by Abelardo appeared after ten minutes. Little more. The idea was there and Cuéllar showed it, by serving quickly and halfway up to look for Djuka and put together a counter kick that ended in a corner kick. Details, but difficulty getting a grip on a rival who is not asleep at all, although imprecise in the final meters. He gave him, in any case, to have the first and a chance in the first half. Escriche got ahead of Berrocal, who minutes before had been booked for a cross at the wrong time, to head near Cuéllar’s left post. The team from Gijón, increasingly uncomfortable, like their coach. Gragera and Christian Rivera began to multiply their work. The break was better for the rojiblancos after a first half with the same shots on goal as their rival, four, but none of them between sticks.
The second part began with a slip by Christian Rivera when he was already arming his leg in the Huesca area. The stumble was greater in his own, in the next play. Another stopped ball against, in the form of a corner kick. Another goal. Florian Miguel anticipated Kravets and headed into the heart of the area to catch Cuéllar off guard. All more difficult. Villalba, sacrificed to first option in search of the solution, instead of Christian Rivera. The scheme, the usual one, with the Valencian behind Djuka; Aitor, to the band and Pedro, again in the middle. With the only balance in favor of a center without a finisher and a long shot by Pedro, Gaspar came on for Puma.
Accelerated by the situation and the result, the game gradually became a back and forth with the rojiblancos with more nerves than aim. Berrocal was able to score, but was unable to shoot in the small area and the action was invalidated for offside; Djuka asked for a penalty and Fran Villalba began to collect impossible drives. Cuéllar avoided the second by narrowing the appearance in the apex of the small area of the newly incorporated Mikel Rico. And from there, to the draw.
Abelardo turned to Campuzano for the final ten minutes and removed a defender, Berrocal. The first action in which the Catalan participated, to the cage. Campuzano fell to the right side to get a center back, to the front, where Pedro Díaz emerged. He did not shake his right hand to adjust it to the strain of the stick and equalize a game that was headed for defeat. Sporting believed it and encouraged, more than ever, the Mareona. The give and take, more and more pronounced. Aitor had it against him, but he missed the last free pass, and Huesca accumulated lateral crosses between successive losses by Sporting, more nervous than ever.
The injury time gave the rojiblancos the option of victory. Great control by Gaspar to search for space for Aitor and Gibraleón’s career, once again leaving the last aupase long, ending up crashing with the rival goalkeeper in the clearest of the game for the rojiblancos. Pitu’s return only gave Huesca to rescue a point.
