Ganzábal’s duel was presented as one of the most interesting between two Asturian teams, Langreo and Avilés, framed in the first group of the Second Federation, fighting for different objectives. The avilesinos are second and fight for promotion, while Langreo tries to get out of the danger zone. The result was a draw in a very tense duel in which the locals enjoyed more chances. Avilés had just lost at home to Ourense, Langreo had beaten Arenteiro and that weighed heavily on the match, with a great atmosphere in the Ganzábal stands.
The match began with great tactical rigor between both teams and the first to have chances was Langreo, through Joselu in the 8th minute with a header, in a shot that went just wide. Then he gave his teammate Bayo the alternative, who, in barely a minute, smashed a ball into the post and right after made Álvaro Fernández shine. The only clear opportunity for Avilés led to the visitor’s goal thanks to Natalio, who finished off with a header at the far post after a local defensive mess. At the end of the first 45 minutes, Avilés led 0-1 on the scoreboard.
The second half began with Langreo looking for an equalizer, and in just five minutes, Joselu’s header, after a corner kick from Mikel, made it 1-1 that made Ganzábal jump. This goal gave wings to Langreo, which was dangerously approaching the goal of the Aviles team. Meanwhile, the visitors arrived and accumulated possession, but almost under danger. In the end, distribution of points in a great Asturian derby.
“They escaped us alive”
“I have the feeling that they escaped us alive, we were better on points and we had chances. Avilés is a very good team, they took the lead and we continue to insist,” said Javier Vázquez, Langreo coach, after his team’s draw . “We were clear about how to condition Avilés and the team was incredible, they went ahead with the few they had, but we played a very good game and we value the point as positive, because we are closer to permanence,” he stressed. “We have not changed the route plan, the intention is to continue competing like this,” he concluded.
“We are happy with the point”
Emilio Cañedo, Avilés coach, valued the draw against Langreo. “We knew in advance how complicated this game was and how important it was. This stadium is very pressing and for us it is a point of merit. The goalkeepers practically did not intervene, it was an intense match in the category and pleasant for the spectators. We are happy with the point”, said the man from Oviedo. “We knew that the game would go quickly and we wanted to have more ball with Juan’s entry. We try to be faithful to the style we have”, concluded the Avilés coach, satisfied with his team.
