Once again, the same outcome. Although it was not unfamiliar, it was still as cruel as the previous time. SD Huesca saw the points vanish at the latter stages, already at the stoppage time. It was extremely painful, just like you could tell from the players’ faces, despondent after the outcome in a tragic week for the Huesca side.
The Oscenses grew into the game in the first half, and played the whole extra time at the opposition’s box. In fact, it was the post what prevented Obeng’s ball to find the net following corner. After that, Jeremy could not find his way through the defence, who kept pulling his shirt, to get the rebound. From then on, the Azulgranas created a flurry of dangerous moments, with a series of balls in the area that could not find anyone to finish off.
After the break, SD Huesca were willing to continue enjoying a good vibe, but this time with an extra point of accuracy. It was Pulido who first looked at the Eldense goal, in a dangerous corner into the six-yard area that went wide. The visitors counter attacked and approached Alvaro’s goal, but an energetic Jeremy Blasco repelled all potential danger. Ziganda brought on Javi Mier and Enzo Lombardo, replacing Kento and Joaquin, to avoid any clear-cut chance from Eldense. After that, Alvaro had to pull off a strong save to avoid the 0-1. Eldense were also denied by the woodwork on the hour mark. Kante and Balboa entered the pitch for the last 15 minutes. The ghosts of the past were echoed when the referee pointed to the spot after an Eldense player fell inside the area in the 88th, going into 11 minutes of extra time. It was eventually reviewed by the referee, who mended his mistake. However, the fate was going to be even meaner to the Azulgranas, who saw the visitors net after a counter-attack in the injury time.
