2023-09-03 22:49:44

The Sestao River could not obtain any prize for the tremendous effort made in its debut as a local in Las Llanas. The green-and-black squad showed great tenacity, growing as the minutes went by and made one of the roosters in the category suffer, Ponferradina, who ended up getting the three points thanks to an early goal by Abelenda. Therefore, he continues with a point in his locker after the first two league days and is now entering the relegation zone.

Punished for the numerous casualties he suffers, especially in the defensive field, Aitor Calle lined up eight of the footballers who were from the game in Salamanca. Mirapeix, Alayeto and Cabo entered to the detriment of Mateo, Gete and Ibai Sanz. The first sensations shown by the green and black were good. They managed to match in rhythm and offensive actions to an entire Ponferradina, recently relegated from the Second Division. However, the Sestaotarra fortress collapsed very soon.

Only nine minutes had elapsed when Ponferradina opened the scoring. The Leon team put together a quick counterattack after the first shot between the sticks by Leandro. In a few seconds, the ball was already in the other area. Segi Puig repelled a first shot, leaving the rebound very focused for Abelenda to shoot at will and open the can. Then it was up to Sestao River the hard ballot of rowing against the current against one of the colossi of the category.

The sestaotarra box had the occasional approach, insufficient to return the tie. The Ponferradina was better. In the 27th minute, the referee canceled a goal by Dacosta, who scored after another rebound into the middle by Puig. Just after the half hour of the clash, Dacosta himself smashed the ball into the post after a measured cross from Carrique from the right side. Sestao River did not throw in the towel and kept trying. Just before the break, Alayeto came close to equalizing with a powerful shot that went into the side of the net.

The local team did not give up in the search for the goal, which went from less to more and ended up dominating the match, with several options to equalize it. The first of these came from Corbalán at the beginning of the second half, with a header from the small area that went wide when the stands were already singing a goal. With a quarter of an hour to go, Cabo was about to score a real goal with a long shot that Prieto repelled with his fingertips. Immediately afterwards, Lobato sent a direct free kick just a few centimeters above the crossbar.

The Sestao River gritted its teeth even more in the final stretch and presented a tough battle to Ponferradina, who was forced to bottle up near their area and waste time to defend the result. The team led by Iñigo Vélez was very uncomfortable, while the green and black were constantly trying to achieve a draw that would have done justice. Of course, the sestaotarras did not put Andrés Prieto in more trouble, whose defense was in charge of repelling all local attempts to score.
