A victoria in Ibiza it was the only result that could avoid their removal as coach of a Sporting that came to the island with ten consecutive days without winning. And the rojiblanco team achieved it thanks to the goals of Aitor and Djuka, but also to another great performance by Diego Mariño. The Vigo goalkeeper was once again a real life insurance for the Gijon team and for their coach.

Marine he was again the safe goalkeeper and reliable that has always been in recent seasons for Sporting. The goalkeeper had a outstanding performance Above all with two interventions of great merit when the goals were called in the stands of Can Misses. The rojiblanca goal he stayed unbeaten for the fourth time this season very irregular for the Gallego team and negative in the defensive aspect that the captain suffers in a special way.
