Zaragoza came away with
three valuable points after a 1-2 away win at Racing Santander. The wet
conditions made play difficult, and were responsible for the first two goals,
the opener coming for the home side when Rebosio slid on the slippery surface
and carried Regueiro's cross into his own net, and the equaliser resulting from
a failed clearance when the ball stuck in a pool of water, Alvaro taking
advantage to pick up the rebound and beat Ricardo.
Earlier in the first half
Bodipo should have given the hosts the lead when he intercepted a bad back pass
and rounded the keeper, only to wait too long and miss his chance. And the
Guinean striker managed to get the ball in the net after the break, only to see
his effort ruled out by referee Medina Cantalejo for a foul on keeper Valbuena,
who was standing in for Lainez.
Valbuena was in action a few
minutes later, tipping Morán's header on to the post, and let off the
hook, Zaragoza got a late winner when Soriano volleyed home from the left of
the area after the defence failed to clear a corner. |
