El Búfalo's double brought victory to the leading team in injury time.
Villalibre continues racing from Via Crucis
El Buffalo, with two, gave the leaders the victory in injury time.The match was good, but between Ezquita's success and Otero's lack of goals, he left empty-handed.
There will be no repentance at Easter, but the race already seemed to carry the cross... Sporting were doing well with a leader whose game was very difficult until Asier Villalibre arrived and brought his resurrection a few days later after two consecutive defeats and the leadership was in danger.
José Alberto made three changes to the "XI": Maguette, Sülejmán and Guliashvili were included at the expense of the injured Íñigo, Aldasoro and Santi Franco, and Salinas, Eriksson and Peio Canales fresh from their national team.Borja Jiménez also introduces 3 new additions: Guille Rosas, Brian Oliván and Manu Rodríguez are replaced by Kevin Vázquez, Curbelo and Justin Smith.
The game started with great intensity on the part of Racing and those arriving in the red-white area, taking advantage of Eric Curbelo's inaccuracy, but the first "whoop" went to Sporting, as Juan Otero's shot went into the corner and Manu Hernando took it well.And Palencia's Inigo Vicente would be the hero to open the scoring after a corner from the left that Manu Hernando combed at the near post and literally at Giorgi.It ended up near the right post of Guliashvili.In the 9th minute, the score was 1-0.
Sport tried to react before the half hour mark.After a few passes, Corredera opened the ball to the rising Diego Sánchez, who, in the form of Messi and Jordi Alba, found Gelabert in the penalty area after Gustavo Puerta's glance.
After a while and after the action when Sporting wanted Suli for the second yellow, the referee of the match, Palencia Caballero activated the protocol against insulting Borja Jiménez, the coach of Sporting.He also tried with Juan Otero and a cross ball that Jokin Ezkieta ended up wasting.Although the Colombian striker had another clear one, finding space in a small area outside the mark of Hernando and Facu, although he did not touch the skin well and went straight out of the wicket.
After the break, Sporting came on very strong.Between Dubasin and Otero they tried to tickle the Racing defense and in the 55th minute appeared a subtle play that will remain an anecdote.After a quick corner, Gelabert shot a goal and 'Duba' put it into Jokin Ezkieta's goal, but luck was on Racing's side as the 'penguin' was offside.The Cantabrians wanted to respond through Andrés Martín and a shot that missed the target.
And in the 65th minute, the equalizing goal was scored.After the eighth ball, which Sporting exploited on the wing, a penalty would be awarded.Midfielder Gil Rosas on the right wing and another winger, Diego Sanchez, finished second hair and the ball hit Manu Hernando's arm.Changed due to fraud.
The race was knocked unconscious and could not react.Gelabert warned from a distance and the red and whites did not tire to find the back of Mario, until José Alberto corrected, in the 79th minute, which took Salinas.But the great entry was that of Asier Villalibre, who had two accurate shots, albeit with suspicion, for the leader in victory.The first time a center by Javi Castro and the second after a shot by Andrés Martín.
