Campusano saves Sporting like King Pelayo

Campusano’s heartfelt goal, a sporting tribute to King Pelayo’s Numantine resistance, would lead to the final day in flames. “The Last Dance”, in which it is possible to enter the “playoffs” if Eldens is defeated. It will depend on Eibar-Oviedo and Villarreal B-Racing. But the goal of Campusano, a hero without a cape and in shorts, after four months of imprisonment in a tunnel, opens the door to everything.

It was a fast game. Packed. Eibar had sensations, and Sporting had chances. Before the goal, Gaspard hit the crossbar and Duca’s volley, which Luca Zidane saved with the most impressive save of the day. But the ball resisted all the way to the Catalan’s hole. The reward for the second half, in which Sporting achieved success thanks to changes. Especially with Villalba and Nacho Martin.

After the final horn, the atmosphere was terrifying. The match turned out to be somewhat tense, Sporting played with their classic 4-4-2. Ramirez again took part in the recruitment of Gaspar, Insua and Christian Rivera, a friend of Robert Pierre. Positional and static midfielder. Small flight. Too much containment. Eibar were a difficult opponent. Gentleman candidate for promotion. He positioned himself high, aware of the problems Sporting faced in covering their game. And this forced him to retrace his steps again and again. Look for central defenders and Yanez. It was not the flowery awakening of the team that was required by a team that seemed overbearing, trying to cool down El Molinon and advance towards the home goal. Small and cheeky Mario Soriano, who belongs to Depor, frustrates the Gijon team from the second line in some starts.

Insua and Diego

The game was always a guerrilla war. Bites, inch by inch. Sporting had a lot of spirit, but lacked football. He played too heroically, too intensely, he lacked the inner quality to overcome the lines. Especially near Luca Zidane’s ranch, where he had no electricity. Centers Cote and Gaspar in the zone, the main escape route, found themselves with a well-oiled forest of legs for the rebound. Rivera had only one escape point in his step, connected to Mario, but the forward was smothered.

Without fully stretching their necks in the match, Sporting, which flirted with tragedy in every foreign counter-attack and in which Insua and Diego Sanchez stood out, Gaspar crashed into the crossbar with the best chance of the entire first act. A personal adventure for the youth player who sent the ball to the former red and white Berrocal and went on a counterattack with the horn in his mouth. Closer to the front line, he struck with his left foot, which shook the crossbar and sent the ball wide of the goal.

The meeting returned from the cabin somewhat more pendulum-like. That Sporting is less unbalanced, but has not completed the search for Zidane’s son. Ramirez pardoned Giuca and also brought Villalba into the game around the hour mark. The changes encouraged the team and El Molinon. They were already playing with an open grave, with risk. The team also began to play long, chasing speed in Dukey’s space, and in between: quality within the Valencian. These two, Lever 8, got the fans out of their seats with a plastic maneuver that earned the score 1-0. But Luka saved the goal by deflecting Djuka’s shot.

A moment later, Ramirez cleared his feet. Nacho Martin, also a key player for Rivera. Gaspard attempted to score from midfield minutes before being substituted. In the last round with the coach, he left: Campusano (defender) and Dani Queipo. All these changes led to a dizzying second half. Like a U2 song. And seven minutes before the end of the match, Sporting broke the jam. From there to the end of suffering. Endurance. And a battle cry at the end.
