Anxo Carro kept the three points for SD Huesca, finally achieved thanks to a powerful momentum early in the second half. Javi Martinez’s and Obeng’s goals edged the Oscenses to a 1-2 victory against CD Lugo, despite a tough away game.
The temperature took a while to rise in a tepid clash in which both sides struggled to fashion opportunities, as SD Huesca grabbed control of the game but proved to be harmless in attack. Cuco Ziganda made five changes from the XI that started the previous game, with Javi Martinez, Enzo Lombardo, Juanjo Nieto, Kento and Jeremy Blasco. CD Lugo made the most of the lack of success of Ziganda’s men and tested Andres after thirty minutes, forcing him to pull off a save to prevent the home side from scoring.
After the interval, the hosts tried to control proceedings, with a brief flurry of chances, but did not expect that the Azulgranas would be clinical enough to put the game to bed only three minutes later. Because they managed to be 0-2 ahead in just two minutes. The first one came after a shot from Javi Martinez after a corner kick, as Ziganda’s side dealt well with the set-piece. The second one was an individual play from Samuel Obeng, who won the ball back and sprinted to to deposit a brilliant finish past the keeper in the 50th. Ziganda decided to make some changes then, bringing on Joaquin, Oscar Sielva and Timor. CD Lugo managed to cut the deficit after a corner 20 minutes from time. Substitute Soko found the net after a good combination from SD Huesca only for the offside flag to go up shortly after. And a few minutes later it was like a déjà vu, as Soko’s opportunity was ruled out for offside again. Finally, and after three minutes of stoppage time, SD Huesca sealed a long-awaited away victory.
