Lolo Escobar decided to give continuity to the eleven that beat Deportivo Aragón and repeated the roster at Alzira. The only novelty of Ander Vitoria’s presence on the bench was his recovery from injury. A key match to appreciate the reaction with the new coach and try to close the year away from the red zone. The match started with a lot of pressure. in midfield and the feeling that two opponents want to control the tempo.
A closed game is one of those games where you have to chew slowly and one goal changes everything. Alzira was looking for him with speed and corner kicks. Hercules with a long shot from Michel and a counterattack from Alvarito that finished poorly. There’s more intent than luck and a lot of equality on the field. The first very clear one was for Michel.however, his shot was stopped by goalkeeper Adrián, who pretended to run the ball twice and on the same line.
Football gets tough when there is no goal in this match profile. The risks are limited and the game is played with extreme caution. Every opportunity is a treasure and a great reward for changing course towards a goalless draw. Javi Serra produced the best of the locals despite a very high shot where everything was in his favour. Minutes passed under Hercules’ control but without the necessary gear against Adrián’s goal. Better sensations than previous meetings, although not successful in final measures.
Football with a lot of work beyond imagination and not overrun by speed. Until the action of the “ghost” target of Hercules comes. The local goalkeeper stood inside the goal and the rejected Jean Paul did not push the nets unbelievably. It looked like a clear goal on the field and on TV, but the referee and assistant didn’t interpret it that way. A mix of controversy and tons of misfortune for the people of Alicante.
Lolo Escobar moved the bench and brought Ander for Cedrés in search of more presence in the rival territory. Hercules grew in control, improved on offense and already got a well-deserved win in the last part of the game. Alvarito got the ball but his shot went too high. Luck embraced the natives. Thus ended the stake with the sense that Heracles deserved more. The team has recovered with the new coach and needs to provide the winter market with solutions for the project.
