Ponferradina halts Leganés' streak

Ponferradina halted CD Leganés' positive streak with a 3-2 victory in an electric game that could have left a tie on the scoreboard if a goal from Javi Hernández had not been canceled at the last gasp, after a commotion in the area and that the Cantabrian referee José Antonio López came to nothing after consulting the video arbitration.

It didn't take long for both teams to show that they were looking for a vibrant, open match, with alternatives and very soon the Madrilenians were able to get ahead on the scoreboard with a shot at the turn, completely alone, from Kevin Bua to the clouds.

After the quarter of an hour a perfect maneuver escaping from his marker by Juan Muñoz allowed him to face Caro's goal and beat him with a dry shot.

La Deportiva, who had started the game in tune, did not accuse the blow and five minutes later an action by Curro Sánchez looking for the rise of Ríos Reina in the band allowed the side to put a perfect center that found the head of the Sevillian winger himself to put the equalizer.

The chances followed one another, first a good shot by Curro Sánchez himself brushing the post, which was found half an hour later by Sabin Merino in a counter pepinera.

The vibrant rhythm from area to area continued and Sielva in a whip from more than thirty meters, after leaving Erik Morán, allowed the Catalan to score his second consecutive goal of the week, third, if one takes into account the one that minutes later would fit in his own goal on a tight corner kick from Leganés for 2-2.

But if the first part had been electric, the start of the second had two clamorous occasions for the visitors in less than five minutes, first by Rober Ibáñez, who took Caro prodigiously and moments after Juan Muñoz who fired completely only deflected with the local goalkeeper sold.

What things are, in the first local arrival, a loose ball fired inside the area by Pablo Valcarce crashed into Tarín's hand and the maximum penalty was converted by Yuri, thus breaking his losing streak of twelve games without scoring in the It had been the second worst dynamic in the Berciano team since its debut.

Martí decided to play the trick of completely renovating his avant-garde to give it more finishing with the entry of Arnáiz and Bastón, along with Rubén Pérez.

The risk assumed could cost the visiting team dearly with a well-planted Ponferradina and waiting for his opportunity to counter like the one Yuri had, who with all his skill shot with great intention crashing the ball into the post of a covered Cuellar.

The final moments still kept one last action for the controversy after a foul thrown into the area and in the noise and successive shots, Javi Hernández beat Caro, although the play was canceled, after consulting with the video referee by the Leganés player.
