Lugo, closer to relegation

Lugo experienced another defeat, and this time their executioner was the Cartagena team, which lost two consecutive games. This result directs Ángel Carro’s team towards the First Federation. A lot will have to change in order for the team from Lugo not to say goodbye to professional football, an enterprise that seems like a utopia, especially if you consider that the safety zone this weekend can be fifteen points.

Íñigo Vélez’s team showed consistency in defense, but were completely dull in attack. And that is that the first and only clear opportunity occurred in the concession of the first installment with the launch of Andoni López who came out brushing the team of the local goal

It is true that the defensive improvement with the arrival of Vélez is real, but it is not enough to turn around a situation that looks bad. Lugo only risked 0-1, wasting the entire delivery in which Cartagena was not good either.

Lugo started the game well. In the defensive part, the players of Íñigo Vélez were at the optimal level, disrupting the few chances of the Cartagena players. It is precisely this circumstance that explains why the Albivermelos preserved a clean net.

Cartagena’s first clear approach came after eight minutes with a shot from the edge by Deblasis, which was easily neutralized by Óscar Whalley. Although Gui Guedes was the first to shoot at Cartagena’s goal, Sebas Moyano – he was one of the most active in the first half – took the first approach with little danger, which he received from Clavería after a steal in the middle of the field, but his shot went too high.

In those moments, the home team dominated the game, but they were not precise in the last third of the field, which was also contributed by the good defensive work of Lugo, with the generous Castrín. But Luis Carrión’s men managed to score after 32 minutes. Darío neutralized the ball coming out of Lugo’s lane, entered the area, assisted Darío, who beat hard crosswise, which caused the ball to go out and graze the left post of Whalley’s goal. The home team tried hard and that’s how Borjo Valle’s dangerous performance arrived, which, however, could not end well against Castrín’s opposition. That irregular goal was rejected by the Albivermel goalkeeper.

The home team scored in the 42nd minute. Jair’s powerful shot was deflected by the inflammable Óscar Whalley near the post of his own goal. And practically when the first installment was coming to an end, a great opportunity arrived for Lugo. A personal move by Sebas Moyan led to a dead pass for Andoni López, whose shot went just wide of the left corner of Aarón’s goal. It could have been 0-1 there, but in the end that opportunity did not materialize into a goal. Of course, Íñigo Vélez’s players went to the locker room with good feelings.

A step forward

The second part began as the first part ended. But in the 53rd minute it was 1-0. Pepe sent a long ball into Lugo’s area, which Jairo controlled and assisted Darí for the goal. This goal forced Vélez to move the bench and bring in Zé Ricardo and Pantić. With this movement, Lugo took a step forward, but it did not turn into a clean scoring chance.

Yes, Cartagena had them in the last stretch, in which they reversed looking for another. The Chilean from Ortuño took on Whalley, who kept his team from conceding more goals for another night. And already with the game practically in the last moments, Feuillassier awarded a pass to Deblasis. That was the end of the game for a sad CD Lugo.
