(Chronicle) Racing cannot beat Leganés and Deportivo loses to Real B

Racing de Santander drew (1-1) against Leganés this Saturday on matchday 18 of LaLiga Hyperemption, a setback for the leaders who did not take advantage of Deportivo de La Coruña’s defeat (0-3) against Real Sociedad B and can also give up their second place.

The Cantabrian side conceded a draw in El Sardinero against a Leganés side that was encouraged with a point at the league leaders’ home stadium midway through the change with Igor Oca on the bench. The first half was intense but without many chances, and in the second a new connection seemed to develop between Iñigo Vicente and Andrés Martín.

Juan Soriano avoided the Cantabrian set and the “Lega” achieved the draw through Seydouba Cissé, a fair distribution in the end since the Madrid team was even able to win. With the point, Racing added 36 points, but at the end of the day Dépor remained on 32 after crashing in Riazor.

The Galicians, who were able to take the lead through Yeremay Hernández, were overtaken by a highly motivated Real B, who left the relegation places with goals from Gorka Carrera, Jon Balda and Gorka Gorosabel and handed the Deportivo team, for whom direct promotion could be very close, their second setback in a week.

Furthermore, Sporting moved into the ‘Top 6′ with a last-minute win against a Granada team once again in the relegation zone. César Gelabert sparked the euphoria in El Molinón with the great goal to make it 1-0 in the 89th minute, which stopped the Nasrids’ unbeaten streak.

Souleymane Faye gave the visitors the lead but failed to score due to a millimeter offside position ruled by VAR. The VAR also helped the Andalusians by canceling a penalty in the second half, where Gelabert’s quality allowed Sporting to add 27 points.

Cádiz was placed with the same 27, stopping the reaction of bottom-placed Real Zaragoza (1-2). A great goal from Diakité brought the Andalusians closer to the promotion zone. Fighting to avoid relegation with 24 points, Real Valladolid lost (0-1) to Andorra, who had not won in ten games and escaped relegation, continuing their weak momentum at José Zorrilla.

The Pucelano team failed again at home due to Minsu Kim’s goal in the 93rd minute, which sparked cheers against coach Guillermo Almada. Meanwhile, Córdoba, which continues to lose positions, could not score (0-0) with the wall of an Eibar in the relegation zone in Nuevo Arcángel.
