Numancia squeezes the fight up and Lightning can’t with the ‘Ponfe’

MADRID, Jan. 18 (SportsFinding) –

Numancia won (2-0) this Saturday at Sporting and stayed three important points in the tight fight for the 'playoff' zone on day 24 of LaLiga SmartBank, while Lightning had to settle for a draw ( 2-2) before Ponferradina and Mirandés-Zaragoza was suspended due to the rain in Anduva.

In Los Pajaritos, the Asturian team left a good image but was not able to give continuity to their victory during the week against Elche. The reaction of Miroslav Djukic's hand does not finish curdling and before a Numancia with a hit he was stopped by the goals of Higinio and Curro at the beginning and end of the clash.

The duel was matched and left the first victory of the Sorians in 2020, which allows them to sleep sixth. Sporting, which had more chances but with a peephole, remains pending the rest of the results six points above the decline.

In addition, Rayo Vallecano added again to, with a pending match, continue to look in the 'Top 6'. Yuri caught the visiting team asleep in the restart, with the 1-0 that drove the 'Ponfe' until Saveljich tied 20 minutes from the end. The visiting team finished better, but stays in the middle of the table tied at 32 points with Rayo himself.

Meanwhile, Lugo took a breath with a victory nine days later to leave relegation places, thanks to Herrera's goal in the second half (1-0). Newcomer Kravets was instrumental in the Galician victory over an Albacete who gets into trouble seeing the lower zone approach.
