Albacete and Amorebieta drew level in a furious game that turned into a festival of goals and chances (2-2) that brought them the second point of the 2023-24 season.
After scoring important points on the first matchday, where they return from their respective games against Espanyol and Levante, both teams will be looking for their first victory of the season in the second week of the league.
The first to smile was Amorebieta, after four minutes, thanks to a run down the right wing by Dorrio where the white defense was too close to Bernabé and allowed Edwards to finish alone, with the ball hitting the post. The rejection came at the feet of a Rayco that surpassed the squad’s local goal.
The white box responded to the blow, with headers from Glauder and Olaetxea, with no goal scored, although the Basque squad came close to scoring again, but Glauder rejected Dorrio’s shot with his body.
Amorebieta were more consistent and went deeper, so they were able to extend their lead in the 23rd minute. Rayco’s run, after a combination of Félix and this one, ended with a dead ball in the area that Félix himself took. The advantage of beating Bernabé was not noticed by the powerful shot.
Quiles tried to shorten the gap on the scoreboard, after half an hour in the game, with a ball from Álvaro behind the defense that the white striker did not convert because his touch, with his right foot, went beyond visitor’s goal.
On the other hand, Manu Fuster did, taking advantage of Galech Azpeteguía’s added time to score Albacete’s goal in the first minute of extra time with Albacete cornering Amorebieta
After free time, Rubén Albés brought on Carlos Isaac, Ros and Bolívar to change the match. And he did it in the first minute of the game. The counterattack that Quiles just chewed up ended up in a twenty-five meter run that ended with a left-footed shot that hit the base of the post by Campos that ended 2-2.
The local team started to control the ball more after the goal and Fuster had a free ball in the penalty area, after a pass from Quiles, which the Valencian finished with a loose shot blocked by the visiting goalkeeper (minute 52). .
At that moment, a phase of alternatives began, which gave way to the opportunity of Carbonell, who blocked Bernabé with an important double intervention that prevented the goal from Amorebieta and Edwards, who stood against the local goalkeeper, who avoided Carlos Isaac’s goal with a stellar appearance (minute 62).
It was the white winger who almost scored, in the 70th minute, after a combination on the right that Isaac used to unleash a whip that Campos successfully deflected, as he did three minutes later with a point -blank shot from Fuster .
Shashoua, in the 92nd minute, had a good chance to make it 3-2, but his personal action came against the body of Pablo Morales, thus preventing the local victory and leaving the tables at scoreboard.
