Villarreal B gained air in the fight for permanence at the expense of Lugo (1-2), which they drowned in the classification of LaLiga SmartBank after a penalty, which also meant the expulsion of Alberto Rodríguez, began to tilt the balance towards the Castellón side in Anxo Carro in the 54th minute.
Lugo, who came to equalize but conceded the second goal a minute later, had the chance to put their rival in trouble and get closer to the teams ahead of them in the table, but they have tied their third defeat and now penultimate, although four points behind eighteenth.
In the cold of Anxo Carro, with two degrees of temperature, Señé had the first two chances for the locals with a shot from the edge of the centered area and another, quickly entering the boat, that went wide.
Villarreal B responded with a move that Pacheco ended in the hands of Whalley and the individual actions of Haissem Hassan, who left from two defenders and forced the goalkeeper to stretch to the maximum to prevent the goal.
Providencial was also, about a minute later, in the 17th game, the goalkeeper of the Castellón team, Iker Álvarez, who kicked a shot from Ángel Baena.
Villarreal B won most of the individual duels against Lugo with Haissem inspiring on the right wing, but the rojiblancos lasted until the break when their defense collapsed.
The VAR intervened around the locker room to check a hand from Loureiro in the area on a cross from Carlo. Moreno Aragón pointed it and from eleven meters Whalley guessed Sergio Lozano’s intentions.
The Villarreal B player then crashed a shot over the crossbar, before the referee punished a slap from Alberto Rodríguez on Álex Millán in the area with another penalty that also saw him sent off, for a double yellow, in the center defender Lugo. This time, the striker was in charge of launching it and he didn’t miss.
Lugo was stunned and the Castellón team had Pacheco’s goal disallowed for offside by Álex Millán. The locals reacted to the entry of Manu Barreiro and Cuéllar. The former headed a ball from Whalley and the Spanish-Bolivian connected it into the back of the net to equalize.
The rojiblancos hit the hardest, but within seconds Villarreal B took the lead again through a cross from Carlo García which Lozano headed in to take the sting out of a missed penalty.
The subsidiary of the ‘yellow submarine’ did not close the game (they had one from Tiago and another double from Fores) and Lugo lived in the long discount of 9 minutes that the match had and Manu Barreiro succeeded in tied in the final moments with Zé Ricardo’s header down the middle, but it went centimeters past him.
