Real Zaragoza dreams after its winning poker

Real Zaragoza, after beating Fuenlabrada 2-1 in a game in which they had to come back from behind, linked a poker game of victories that, definitely, have reversed the trend that was in place until just five days ago, when it was four points from relegation.

Four wins in a row that have turned the situation around from black to white at a stroke and leave him with the option of pursuing a dream that is still far away, promotion promotion, but that still seems possible considering that there are still eleven days left for the end of the championship.

The Aragonese team did not miss the opportunity to prolong the good run they had and took advantage of the delicate situation of their rival, in the relegation zone, to take the three points, also bringing joy to their fans who for the first time this season have seen winning three times in a row at his stadium and he did it with goals from youth squad Iván Azón, shocking one more day, and Miguel Puche.

The Sandoval effect was short-lived because the changes were key in the team to change the fate of the scoreboard and leave the people of Madrid further and further away from salvation.

The Zaragoza team began the match with a push against a Fuenlabrada team that played with three central defenders but far from being equipped in front of their goal, they exhibited high pressure that bothered the owners of the field when the ball came out.

However, Juan Ignacio Martínez ‘JIM”s team pushed the visitors towards their area and began to put up crosses that forced the Madrid defense to work hard.

The hand team had two great chances in just eight minutes. The first in minute 16 with a shot by Sergio Bermejo inside the area that goalkeeper Miguel Angel Morro saved in the first instance and then, when he was already entering the goal after a header by ‘Jair’ Amador, Alberto Rodríguez “Tachi” did so.

And if this double foreign intervention was almost miraculous, no less so was the opportunity that came eight minutes later for the owners of the field when Jair prolonged a corner kick that the other center-back, Alejandro Francés, finished off, and that, falling, saved again with the Tachi head.

Real Zaragoza did not despair and continued to insist but did not have such clear chances again until the end of this period, and even less so after the visitor’s goal in the 32nd minute from a long-range free kick hanging from the area that Jair ended up getting into his own goal.

The ‘blanquillo’ team came out ready to amend the score after returning from the locker room and after a warning from Eugeni Valderrama that the visiting goalkeeper cleared with difficulty managed to tie through his talisman from the last few games, Iván Azón, who had just entered the grass and who took advantage of a header from Alvaro Giménez to send the ball acrobatically into the net.

Spurred on by the goal, JIM’s team pressed down and taking advantage of the fact that the game began to be two-way, they generated two other clear scoring chances in the 55th and 73rd minutes, the latter being the prelude to the goal by the youth squad Miguel Puche, with a header after a header from Alvaro Giménez, two minutes later.

The blow was great for Fuenlabrada, although they did not give up, it did not worry a solid Real Zaragoza and they chained their best winning streak of the season.
