A goal in the first half condemned SD Huesca against Albacete. Cuco's men tried to react but after our captain was sent off it got harder. The Oscenses levelled matters thanks to a penalty on Escriche converted by Juan Carlos, but in the stoppage time Albacete triumphed when the visitors were trying hard to secure a valuable point.
Soko fired first with a one-on-one, but the rival keeper was clever. After 15 minutes, Andrés Fernández pulled off a brilliant save, but he was unable to prevent the rebound from crossing the line. SD Huesca were forced now to come from behind under Carlos Belmonte's heavy rain.
Escriche and Florián Miguel looked to react for their side, but Escriche shot straight at the keeper and the Frenchman's strike went wide. Ziganda's men tried it hard but couldn't find the deserved leveller.
After the interval, Cuco decided to make changes, introducing Sielva, Kevin Carlos and Valentín. When the Oscenses seemed to get better, Pulido was was shown a straight red card after a corner. With five minutes remaining, a penalty was awarded to the Azulgranas following a foul on Escriche. Juan Carlos took it and converted it at the second time, as it had to be retaken.
Against ten men, Albacete pushed hard in the latter stages and SD Huesca tried to secure a valuable point. However, in the 97th, when we could almost touch the reward with our fingers, Olaetxea found the net with a header in an excruciating night for Huesca and coach Ziganda.
