A venomous rocket of a free kick from Sielva arrowed home in front of El Alcoraz to spectacularly put SD Huesca level at the stoppage time. Ziganda’s side reacted in the second half of a game in which they were left too early with an uphill battle to get something out, as they went 0-2 into half-time due to accurate opponents. Therefore, even though they have not won yet, they have picked up one more point at home.
It was only after 15 minutes when Alvaro failed to clear the ball out of the box, allowing Alex Flores to slot in the first one of the afternoon. It was time to row upstream and, although Javi Martinez was close to change the script in the 24th, his powerful shot hit the bar. Villarreal B were extremely accurate again by means of Javi Ontiveros in the 34th, when he powered a shot to double the advantage.
The reaction turned out to be vital for the Oscenses in the second 45, urged on by their home fans and trying to go a step further. A header from Pulido after the break was their first attempt. In their second header, this time from Loureiro, they managed to score a key goal to come close. Joaquin and Kento went on while El Alcoraz spurred their side. The Azulgranas now needed to show aggression on the ball to make the most of their momentum, pushing for a leveller. Ziganda had to recover from Gerard Valentin’s injury, as he had proved the difference until then. When Villarreal seemed to have stemmed SD Huesca’s push, Oscar Sielva’s foot reminded them that no one at SD Huesca ever gives up. In the 92nd, he took a free-kick from the edge of the box and hit a thumping shot into the top corner of the net, earning one point for his side to convert what had been seen on the pitch.
