Where Fabril scored, Depor He suffers the unspeakable. It is always overcome, even if it is not for the better. Always adds spice to matches, even if it’s not necessary. Goals from Pablo Vázquez, Lucas and David Mella rescue a Dépor team that once again gave away the first half, which has nothing left to spare soccer and that he has some substitutes who have conscientiously earned that condition. Much of this classification, even in 120 minutes, is due to that miraculous goal by Pablo Vázquez, who invented a shot into the net in the 89th minute to take the duel to extra time. It was also thanks to the superb game of David Mella, the only one who truly believed in the comeback, the only one who gave every last drop to avoid falling embarrassingly in Langreo. His goal, after Lucas’s rehabilitation goal, closed the game and the tie in the 118th minute, but above all it rewarded a great game from the youth squad. Exhibition, faith, goal and kiss to the shield after 1-3.
Recent years have shown that Dépor lives its particular Halloween in the first round of the Cup. Covadonga’s condition as a minor and sunken team, which had lost 0-3 weeks before against Fabril, encouraged them to look at the duel with optimism, even with a certain spirit of rehabilitation for many players. The Ganzabal field, the improvised setting for the duel, was its own house of horrors in an unworthy first half for a team with such a history, for the supposed status of Dépor and for some players who tried to cast doubt on Idiakez. Few doubts.
The Basque coach mixed meritorious fabrilistas with regulars like Pablo Vázquez and Villares and with players who needed to be repaired like Valcarce or Davo. The A Coruña team did not show at any time, until half-time, its superiority or any pattern of play. A long team, like an afternoon of stormy weather, that had no idea how to get their hands on a lesser rival.
He replicated the start of the game and that first half a few days ago against Nàstic badly. He neither dominated nor knew how to progress from behind with the ball. He was only capable of generating a fictitious danger when he stole upstairs. Footballers like Cayarga, Davo and Retuerta got tired of making bad decisions until half-time. The team played long balls with two players like the Asturian or Valcarce who were incapable of winning a duel. A nonsense.
And given that panorama and the fact that the Covadonga goalkeeper was a mere spectator, the Asturian team ended up cheering up. He had to ask permission, but since they let him pass, he wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass him by. With the always clear premise of having the fort well covered, he performed actions that tested Parreño. Dépor didn’t even shoot on goal in the first half until the 40th minute, when they were already losing. Everything was in a tense calm in a cold atmosphere in which Depor was fading away. He conceded so much that Nyno ended up scoring 1-0 in an action fatally defended by Dépor. The finisher was offside, the chain failure in the defense of that action allows no buts.
Dépor wanted to react after the goal. Very timidly. He lacked rudiments, the field did not help him and the feeling of being judged did not give the substitutes free rein either. The A Coruña team was losing, they even flirted with receiving the second. The rest didn’t hurt him.
Idiakez reacted by sitting Retu, who this time was not a victim like in the Teresa Herrera, and changed the formation to a 3-5-2. Cayarga and Mella acted as long backs, if not wingers, Dépor wanted to push. The first opportunity, a few minutes later, was for Jairus. There was no tailwind in that debut that resisted 900 days and had been waiting a lifetime. Even so, he was one of the few lights in the darkness. He had personality, he has never lacked it.
Dépor gave him drive, ambition and self-love, he didn’t have enough football. But the one who gave a recital both in that second act and in the extra time was Nick. He did what he wanted, he destroyed Covadonga. Everything good for the people of A Coruña came from their side, while Davo and Cayarga were still missing. Pablo Valcarce was not decisive either. Idiakez was slowly introducing the changes. Pablo Martínez, Salva Sevilla and Lucas were already on the field. All the artillery and nothing. Covadonga almost made it 2-0 in an extreme start by Parreño. The Asturians kept the wall standing, until it arrived Pablo Vázquez to knock him down. The Wolf Lord of this Dépor. He solves problems and this time he did it with a shot from the front in the 89th minute. His team was dying and he injected adrenaline directly into the heart at the last moment.
Dépor pushed and had chances in extra time. Covadonga had caught a second wind and was already looking at the edge of the penalties when Lucas and Mella turned the duel upside down and the sentence. Another survival exercise.
