The lack of bite continues to be the protagonist of the Cordoba CF. Despite the need to add a victory, the green and white team did not give any arguments take the three points against the Leganes and had to settle for one point. … After a first half where there were alternations on the part of both teams, imprecision and lack of ideas were the protagonists on the part of both teams.
Already in the second half, Cordoba had two good chances thanks to Rubén Alves and Fuentes, but the cucumber team put Iker Álvarez’s goal in greater danger. Finally, Jacobo had victory in his boots with a penalty, but the Madrilenian’s shot came off the crossbar to close the tie in a very gray match for both teams.
Iván Ania went to Butarque with three new additions to his eleven. After serving a two-match suspension, Rubén Alves returned to ownership with Xavi Sintes as the centre-back pair. As usual, Carlos Isaac and Albarrán occupied the flanks. At the heart, the Grenade tandem composed of Isma Ruiz and Requena He pounced from the start after the latter served his match suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season.
For this same reason, Carracedo He was on the far right. In the rest of the offensive positions, one of the surprises was the continuity of Pedro Ortiz in midfield, who pushed Jacobo to the left wing and Fuentes remained at the point of attack.
The match started with many alternations from both teams, but the imprecision was palpable when it came to weaving the attacks. Little by little, despite the bad dynamics they were experiencing, Leganés started to be the protagonist on the playing field. Concerning Cordoba, the green and white team They struggled to cross the three-quarter linethe duel therefore took place mainly in the middle of the field. The first notable finish was a passed cross from Jacobo that Carracedo didn’t connect well.
Little danger in the first part
Córdoba’s match was not at all comfortable as they failed to string together two passes in a row against one very well planted cucumber defensive block. After half an hour of the match, the Riverside team woke up with a run from Carracedo who found Jacobo’s run from the second line. Even though he was not surrounded by defenders, the Madrid player’s shot went very high into what was the clearest opportunity.
The Madrid team became a little more intimidated, which allowed Cordoba to add players in the rival area. Carracedo was the most notable serving quality centers towards Fuentes and Pedro Ortiz, expeditions repulsed by the defense of Leganés. The home side also failed to meet the challenge in terms of attack, so much so that the match continued until half-time, with the Pepineros having the better chances.
Despite the somewhat discreet first forty-five minutes, Iván Ania retained his starting lineup after passing through the locker rooms. Jacobo had the first shot of the second half, but his shot inside the area went straight to Soriano’s body after receiving a slight angle. Leganés could have taken the lead on the scoreboard, but Ignasi Miquel’s shot was disallowed for offside. The local attacks did not stop and a header from a set piece threatened Iker Álvarez’s goal, but the Andorran goalkeeper was feline.
Jacobo’s penalty error
Even though things didn’t work out for him, Rubén Alves added spice to the duel with a head that crashed into the wood. The Spaniard-Brazilian’s chance was accompanied by a cross shot from Fuentes that Soriano cleared with difficulty. As if it were a shooting star, the green and white growth has stopped and the game was much hotter again. In search of solutions, Ania called on Jan Salas to replace a discreet Pedro Ortiz.
This decision did not improve ideas on offense and De la Fuente had a clear face-off against Iker Álvarez. Once again, the Andorran excelled in a new act of reflexes to escape danger. Given the apathy of the Greens and Whites when it comes to creating chances, Requena won a penalty after being tripped by Said. Jacobo, eleven-meter specialist, he sent the shot onto the crossbar and equality was maintained.
Around the ninety minute mark, Ania moved the bench to bring in Kevin Medina, Alcedo and Alberto del Moral, changes that had no impact given the little time remaining in the match. Already in stoppage time, Carracedo pocketed a powerful volley, thus marking the end of a Cordoba gray match in Butarque.
