Leaving the relegation zone after the results of the weekend – and the last three defeats in a row – is the mission set by a squad from La Mancha who face a team from Ferrol who have just beaten the Valladolid in the final league event, and are looking to win to get into positions that allow them to compete in the play-offs for promotion to First division.

The first strategies have a local stamp and, as usual, are starred by their best player, Manu Fosteraided in some cases by a tone Julio Alonso, left-back returning to the starting eleven.

On the other hand, the two best arrivals of the visitors were annulled for offside, in a demonstration that the white coach, Ruben Albes, He studied the balls behind the defense that the Galician team usually looked for and in this way nullified the home defense.

The first shot between three sticks is made Agus Medina, after a strategic play where Julio Alonso threw-in and the ball fell into the area at the foot of the ‘4’, who didn’t apply much force to his shot and it went out of the middle.

Kaiky did better when he came out with the ball played from behind after escaping from a high pressure from Ferrol, who passed to Fuster, who saw Quiles coming in, to give him the open ball for the Albacete striker to beat Ander Cantero for low (min.25).

That first goal galvanized an Albacete team that managed to widen the gap in the 33rd minute, after a measured cross from Carlos Isaac in the penalty spot, Juanma, alone, he headed, the ball coming off the left post of the Ferrol goal.

At the beginning of the second half you will see a Ferrol Racing more aggressive that, through a lateral center, cause Kaiky touch the ball with his hand and Lopez Toca penalty awarded in the 49th minute. However, the Czech international goalkeeper, Vaclikmaximum sentence stopped at Alvaro Gimenez and kept his team on top of the scoreboard.

Racing de Ferrol’s reaction did not take place in that action, but it happened in the 56th minute after a choral action where, after triangulating Álvaro Giménez, Pinchi and Iker Losadathe latter beat the Albacete goal with a low shot.

And he managed to change the score, again, in just one minute, from 67 to 68, first for the visiting squad, but the shot from Nico Serrano he successfully blocked it Vaclik and then the Albacete team came close to scoring thanks to a shot by Kaiky with his foot that Ander Cantero he cleaned with his chest.

In addition, a goal is not allowed Hyginius due to an illegal position, in the same minute, as the Murcian forward found himself on the post in the 77th minute after a header that became another example of the bad luck that Albacete has suffered in recent weeks.

A punishment committed by Carlos Isaac about Heber Pena which is checked by the referee of the match, at the request of VAR, lead to the second stop Vaclikin this case to the player who received the violation.

The Czech goalkeeper became the hero of the clash, also stopping a shot from Said Merino in the 97th minute, thus saving a point for his team and snatching victory from the team of Christopher Parralowhich are two points away from the play-off zone for promotion to the First Division.
