The visit to the bottom team also did not allow us to see Sporting add points away from home. The rojiblancos suffered their fourth away defeat in Lezama in a match in which they were trailing against an orderly Amorebieta. Jauregi’s early goal was answered by Otero on the stroke of half-time, but a new defensive mistake in the first half added-on ended up putting the home team ahead, who put the finishing touch in the final stages through Edwards. It was the punishment for a rival without ideas and installed in a permanent traffic jam in the final third. The setback cools the red and white candidacy for promotion and leaves Mareona, the protagonist with more than 600 displaced people, in disarray.
It was far from the start desired by Sporting. And that was what was expected. Amorebieta came out with what he had done so many times before. Five at the back, well protected in defense, and waiting to make the set piece their best ally. No sooner said than done. While Ramírez’s men accumulated horizontal steps, the Basque team found the moment to take the lead in a corner kick. He took a short shot and then looked for Bustinza’s haircut at the near post. Etxeita hunted it in the heart of the small area to meet the opposition of Insua. The third time was the charm. Jauregi won the dispute with Róber Pier to open the scoring and reaffirm the good moment of the bottom player. He was going to sweat a lot.
Sporting could not find a way to tear down the retaining wall built by Jandro. The accumulation of red-and-white players inside didn’t help either. Gaspar, new with Roque Mesa in the eleven, exchanged positions with Fran Villalba starting near Djuka. The Valencian seemed like the man to look for to pierce the orderly rival lines. The game went to half-time without a single shot on goal from the Gijón team. Nerves among the more than 600 sportinguistas who traveled to Lezama. And then, Nacho Martín.
The one from Noreña interpreted just enough space to catch Lasure’s back and leave Otero one-on-one against Magunagoitia. He did not forgive the Colombian in Sporting’s first shot, shooting violently at the post of the Amorebieta goalkeeper. A draw and a break for a team from Gijón that seemed to think with relief about the rest time. There was no possible truce and with a defensive relaxation, the locals once again took the lead. Dorrio launched the race until José Ángel was exhausted, unable to keep up with him. He won the baseline and centered it behind to see how the home team once again won the dispute between rebounds. Roque Mesa stopped the first attempt, and Fran Villalba and Pascanu could not with the second, that of Morci, who, almost falling, crossed it to leave Yáñez pinned.
Miguel Ángel Ramírez moved the bench to start the second half. Hassan, Guille Rosas and Varane, by Gaspar, Pascanu and Roque Mesa. Muscle and depth in search of a comeback. The first opportunity came with a free-kick from Otero that was spectacularly saved by Magunagoitia. It was followed by a corner kick ended with a goal by Nacho Martín in the second play. It ended up being annulled due to Insua’s previous offside.
The game began to open up at times, fortunately for a more incisive Sporting. Also more nervous and increasingly imprecise. A committed delivery by Nacho Martín and a slip by Cote almost cost the third. The stage was for the locals to decide against, or for the success in the area of a team from Gijón at odds with themselves when they reached the final third. The reaction of the first minutes of the second half began to dilute despite the mobility of Varane and the more gear on the right by Guille Rosas. Both spread the hope of getting back into the game.
A very deflected header from Djuka led to the Montenegrin international being replaced by Mario. Sporting ran out of changes with twenty minutes remaining. The ideas and opportunities still did not appear. Guille and José Ángel, with a new shot with their right foot, cooked up the next approach against an Amorebieta comfortable living in their own field. Insua had the tie in a corner kick in which he was able to shoot the local goalkeeper, but ended up smashing the shot into Magunagoitia’s body. The final touch came on time. Edwards sent an unappealable shot to make more visible Sporting’s inability to get out of the tunnel that playing away from El Molinón is becoming.
