Real Zaragoza snatches a point in the 93rd minute against Racing de Ferrol as the smell of relegation was deadly.

What a test. What an obvious weakness These days there is a very poor Real Zaragoza. Sergi Enrich, scoring his first goal of the season, made the final 2-2 against Racing de Ferrol in the 93rd minute and prevented the team from being on the brink of disaster. With a victory, the Zaragoza players would practically confirm their mathematical salvation after the draw before the match with Alcorcon. They didn’t know how to do it. Perhaps this point can be the savior on the last day. At the moment it only serves to continue breathing, with a real risk of losing the activated category still remaining.

From the start, on such a difficult day, the time has come for Zaragoza, which has been struggling in recent months, to take the fight to the face very early. This was the day of the greatest selection pressure., as the clash began with Amorebieta trailing by just two points, which meant elimination, a cushion that in reality was only one point, as the “golaverage” was lost by the Aragonese Basque team. On his first arrival in the Ferrol area, in the 3rd minute, Liso pushed the ball over the line at will, which Ason headed in from Gamez’s cross after good play from the reappearing Mollejo. It was like coming out of the locker room with a 1-0 win. Something perfect, great to calm your nerves and slow your very fast pulse on and off the grass around 9pm in the pouring rain.

This goal was great for Victor Fernandez’s team. He considered himself solid despite so many losses and the improvised composition of the Aragonese coach, who chose the young Terrera as a double central midfielder next to Grau and replaced Mollejo from the infirmary on the right flank, using a formation compatible with the 4th formation. 2-3-1 or even 4-3-2-1 from the good old days of neighborhood coach Oliver. He made necessity a virtue. Three minutes after the initial goal, Liso scored a double again. Another pass from Ason resulted in a shot into the box that hit the Galician defender and went for a corner when he had everything in his favor to do the same. And at the exit of that corner, Maikel Mesa converted the third shot, which was again intercepted by the white-green defender.

The white team started, and there their engine speed dropped. Racing de Ferrol entered the fray after a serious hit from Losada in the 9th minute., inching behind after raiding the center of the local defences. Fast grass due to falling water at certain times was a lottery, a risk behind, an ally above if you knew how to use it. The answer to this first insolence of the opponent came again from the active Liso with a shot in the 16th minute from outside the penalty area, which, thanks to a successful rebound, Cantero had to stop.

Close to target

The game moved from zone to zone until the break. The La Coruñans warned and at times beat Real Zaragoza with outrageous corners, up to 8. Cubero came close to goal in one of them, in the 28th minute, but Frances’ touch went over the crossbar. In the 30th round, at the moment of greatest confusion for Zaragoza, with Grau down and Terrer unable to control the pace of the match, it was former Zaragoza player Alvaro Jimenez who stood vertically between the central defenders and, when he sensed a goal and a draw, his last throw , alone in the penalty area, he threw it away, there was a shake centimeters from the left post Christian Alvarez, who did not have to intervene in anything decisive in the first 45 minutes.

At this turn of the game, Real Zaragoza collapsed. when, in the 33rd minute, at the other corner of the opposite square, Ason’s header hit the post as a result of a curious maneuver by goalkeeper Cantero, who held the ball with one hand as it hit the post. There could have been a 2:0 score and the calm that was so awaited. The 1:0 score was not enough, and the danger from Ferrol was always hidden. Not much happened from then until the break. Besides Mollejo was reprimandedToday his heart rate was dangerously high. Up front, Zaragoza’s Clemente was also dressed in yellow and looked vulnerable.

The second half began under a huge layer of water. The people of Ferrol must have felt as if they were playing in A Malate. His coach, Cristobal Parralo, to Bryce’s left in the shower, also with a card, brought Delgado onto the field. The night had sharp edges and the ground was so slippery. Victor didn’t touch anything, knowing that there were very few spare parts. And Racing returned the game to Zaragoza: in the 2nd minute of the restart the score became 1:1. A wedge of the same tree, again, the nth: Alvaro Jimenez took Vaseline out of his hat while running with his back to the center of Cubero.

, ahead of Jair and surpassing a surprised Christian Alvarez. The second half couldn’t get any more challenging. A blow to the back of the head for Zaragoza, who was stunned.

It took White eight minutes to break out of the grog effect. It was Liso’s personal play in the 55th minute, with a dribble past the Galician defender and a cross that Cantero converted for a corner with his fingertips. But football saved one of these scams for the shame of Zaragoza. From a possible 2-1 in a few seconds it turned into 1-2 and everyone’s fear. A favorable corner immediately turned into a lethal counterattack by Racing de Ferrol. Serrano crossed and Alvaro Jimenez again struck from the front and beat Christian just wide of the right post. Dramatic production. The descent to Primera RFEF began to flutter across the sky of La Romareda, above the rainy clouds.

Victor removed the exhausted Mollejo and washed-out Ason and invited Valera and Sergi Enrich to dance., there’s still half an hour to go. Cristian Alvarez, meanwhile, kept the game at 1-3 with Serrano’s 62nd-minute strike at the height of the Whites’ confusion. Drops of cold sweat, mental paralysis and exaggerated panic poured from the stands. In the 65th minute, Maikel Mesa attempted a long-range parabolic shot and Cantero responded with a good save. Much more was required to be able to get any points back.

From Zaragoza’s point of view, the clock was ticking. Something ancient, when the rope tightens and life slips away. lThe Galicians began to shake off other football, that is, to waste time and abuse of local nervousness. The white players failed to concentrate after the score was 1-2. There is no one to control the game, there is not enough leadership. In this casual football, without rigor, the newly introduced Vaquero shot from 30 meters with his right and crashed into the crossbar. There were two fingers too high for this shot. A shame. This was the only way to surprise the opposing goalkeeper.

In the 74th minute, Liso didn’t know how to finish pass behind Gamez on quick side penetration. Everyone was extremely upset. The manner in which this confusion was resolved was not appreciated. Liso again tried to surprise Cantero with a short corner in the 79th minute. The green goalkeeper parried the shot with one hand and prevented a draw. The young man from Zaragoza was the only one who had some clairvoyance among so many blindnesses. The public pushed for the final of the game to take place near Galitskaya Square.

In the 84th minute, Maikel Mesa missed a scoring chance, hitting Liso from the left flank. A minute later, Manzanar’s own header was saved by Cantero’s reflexes. Zaragoza desperately tried to get the ball into the penalty area at any cost. There was no other method. The scrum was played like rugby. Regional football, in terms of the quality of the current squad. At the 90th minute, a lot of people were marching on vomit. The judge gave only 5 minutes extension. A little.

And when the one with the scythe showed the brilliance of his blade on the rooftops of La Romareda, in the 93rd minute Sergi Enrich scored his first goal of the season to patch up such a disaster and, who knows, give enough ounces of life. team when he bled to death without any means. It was another center in the box, this time from Frances. And Enrich went to beat Cantero, who made the statue seem surprised. It was an explosion of emotions caused by dizziness and an overwhelming fear of losing everything. – La Romareda roared. Not enough loot. The team didn’t know how to close the math rescue. Something is missing everywhere. What Victor Fernandez does is a miracle.

The work of a jeweler is worthy of an honorable award if within 14 days the team is still in the Second Division and has not fallen outside the professional limits.
