The Eiroas
Marino de Luanco, in the middle of the fight for the play-off although officially seeking to tie up their permanence, missed their third consecutive victory against Bergantiños by receiving the equalizer in the last minute of added time, in a match in which the Luanquines they went ahead with fifteen to go thanks to a goal from Vanderson in an impeccable counterattack.
The chances were conspicuous by their absence in the first half, in a match dominated from start to finish by Manel Menéndez’s pupils, who could not count on Isma Fagir for this match, with a muscle injury in his left quadriceps, or Dailos, per warning cycle. The Asturian team, well supported in the stands despite being a visitor, had control of the ball against a very well planted Bergantiños in defense who was waiting behind for his opportunity to come out with speed on the counterattack.
The first approach of danger did not arrive until after the first quarter of an hour. It was a long ball from Trabanco for Luis Nuño behind the defense. He controlled Marino’s striker on the edge and his shy shot was stopped by Canedo. Beyond that isolated action, the game continued in the same vein until the last minute, with hardly any lateral crosses hanging into the area by both teams that solved both the defenses and Buru and Canedo without trouble. It wasn’t until 45 when Bergantiños enjoyed their first shot, in a distant and soft hit by Dani Pedrosa, deflected.
After going through the changing rooms, both teams came out more electric. The Mariner tried to create danger, especially on the wing. However, the first came from Lora in the 49th minute with a shot that went over the crossbar. For their part, Bergantiños, who continued to base their game on defensive strength, tried to surprise from midfield with a hit from Palomares. Even less poison was the shot from the recently entered Iván Garrido in minute 67 after a good play on the left wing.
With the passing of the minutes, it seemed that the match was losing pace. Manel Menéndez brought on two new forwards, Óscar Fernández and Nino, to try to force something more in attack. And boy did it work. At minute 72, after a corner kick from the right and a series of rebounds, a cross fell to the far post for Borja Álvarez, whose attempt at an acrobatic shot sent him back to Canedo’s corner.
And a loss in attack by Bergantiños was perfectly taken advantage of by Marino to open the scoring at As Eiroas. It was Julen Álvarez who got drunk on the ball in the 77th minute and lost it in the rival field. From there, backlash of the book of the Asturian team. Jairo Cárcaba left quickly through the central lane and led until opening up the right wing for the recently entered Óscar Fernández, who put a ball into the heart of the area for Vanderson to finish off. Despite being overwhelmed by a defender, he did not miss the 22nd and beat Canedo to make it 0-1.
Manel Menéndez, with the three points in his pocket, withdrew two attackers such as Cárcaba and the striker Vanderson to give muscle to his team with Guille Cueto and Adolfo, but he would end up receiving a great jug of cold water when Agulló, in the last play of the match, scored the final 1-1 with a header from a corner.
Manel: “The point knows little”
“It’s not that we didn’t feel comfortable, but we are facing a team that makes us quite uncomfortable and that’s how the game has been,” analyzed Manel Menéndez, Marino’s coach, after the draw against Bergantiños in a duel “not very attractive and with few occasions”. “It’s a shame because we were left with the taste in our mouths of having been able to take the three points that were taken from us in the last play of the game,” acknowledged the coach, who was still satisfied with the performance of his players, “although we we have been left with honey on our lips». “Today he knows little about the point, but tomorrow he will know us better,” the avilesino sentenced.
