Leganes drew with Ferrol and will rely only on themselves to take the lead on the final day | CD Leganes
Leganes added a point to their visit to Racing Ferrol (2-2). Miguel de la Fuente and Juan Cruz scored for the Pepineros, but two misses, one at the end of each half, allowed the Galicians to level the score. On the final day, “Lega” will rely only on himself to achieve his dream at home.
Leganes came out with three changes to the squad from their last win over Real Sporting: Cissé, Brasanac and Diego Garcia entered the team in place of the suspended Chicco, Juan Cruz and Juara. The clash began with the locals trying to seize the initiative in the first ten minutes against the well-positioned Leganes. In the 11th minute, the first serious chance of the game came: Miramon’s cross from the right and Miguel’s header, which narrowly missed the goal.
Miguel put Leganes ahead and Alvaro Jimenez leveled for Racing de Ferrol at the end of the break after a dubious penalty.
In the 16th minute, the score should have been 0:1: Sergio Gonzalez’s ball went deep, and Darko Brasanac could not stop it, and he sent it into the penalty area, and Miguel de la Fuente beat Cantero with his first shot to make the score 0:1 . the twelfth goal of the season, to the joy of the more than six hundred pepineros transferred to A Malata. Racing de Ferrol tried to respond to Liga, who again achieved a good finish in the 33rd minute with a Franquesa run that neither Miguel nor Diego could complete.
The locals were looking to force a draw early on in the break, resulting in Fuentes Molina awarding a penalty for some very questionable handling by Sergio Gonzalez in the box, which Alvaro Jimenez converted to score the tying goal. When the score was 1:1, a break was made.
Juan Cruz scored 1-2, but another penalty, already in stoppage time, returned the draw to the scoreboard.
The second half started unchanged as the locals went up in search of a second goal against Leganes, who were also trying to reach the opponent’s goal. In the 64th minute, Borja Jimenez made his first substitution, replacing Diego Garcia with Juan Cruz, who wanted to shake up the blue and white attack. Racing had a long-range shot hit Diego Conde’s crossbar before Borja Jimenez made his second window of substitutions in the 74th minute, bringing on Undabarrena and Raba for Brasanac and Portillo.
Lega looked to make it 1-2 in the 80th minute with a personal touch from Juan Cruz, who entered the penalty area and crossed it to send the Pepinera fans into a frenzy. However, already in stoppage time, there would still be time for Fuentes Molina to award another penalty to Racing de Ferrol, this time for Njom’s challenge, which was deemed sufficient to mark the eleven meters. Manu Justo converted the score to make the final 2-2, leaving Leganes with 71 points.
Pepinero faces the last day to achieve direct promotion in the match they will play on Sunday (18:30) against Elche in Butarque.
