The expression “the important thing is the League” has both a truism and an evasion, but, at this point, it no longer filters, because the reward that the Cup keeps is succulent enough not to be speculating. In this regard, Chiqui de Paz (“let’s go with everything”) never hides in the speech and his team was not carried away by the slightest relaxation to which he was prompted by the comments from Santander, both those who came to insinuate that at Racing was not interested in competition as those who branded Real Avilés as the one that had the least to lose. It It is better to absent yourself from the rumor mill and, yes, Real Avilés went with everything and head on.
The local proposal started with more dynamism than that of a Racing more prone to making it difficult for the Blue and Whites to get the ball out, without too much pretension to advance. Few things happened in the areas and with no greater relevance than a shot of Iago Diaz, in the 25th minute, and another by Bustillo, in the 31st. Besides, the incursions of Sergio garcia on the left wing they were the main attraction for some covered stands as it had not been seen for a long time, with two thousand spirited spectators.
Only ten minutes after the start of the second half, given the dominating position that Racing was taking in the wide area, the first substitutions were activated on the local side, with the precise adjustments provided by the tickets of Alex Prendes and Vidorreta. But Real Avilés suffered an imponderable factor that was too complex to overcome, that of numerical inferiority that caused the expulsion of Albert Estellés, for a foul in a non-compromised zone. Perhaps it was more of a turning point that minute 65 than that of the first goal, when the first part of extra time was about to end. Marco Camus, who was seeing how his number 7 was illuminated on the gear table, took a very hard kick from the front, impossible to stop. Mario de Luis.
All runaway
Everything was already out of control, even the moañés Pastoriza Iglesias, a collegiate that gave enough signs of being in the wrong, while Real Avilés tried to, at least, apply the same lesson as Navalcarnero, his last rival in the League, who managed not to lose by appealing to the heroic. Penalties could still be an achievable goal, until Álex Prendes deflected a Serge Soko cross into his own goal. Already in the last breath, the free blow that the former Oviedo Borja Domínguez nailed by the squad would not be an obstacle for Suárez Puerta to thunder in favor of a team, the realavilesino, who lost on a scoreboard, that of the figures, but won in another also very important, that of the affection of a hobby that had not been able to profess it for a long time.
