The best version of Sporting returns without a prize from Malaga | BE Gijón | Carousel Deportivo Gijón

If there is to lose, so be it. It is very angry to see Sporting become the void of La Rosaleda, but defeat cannot overshadow the soccer improvement of the team. The loot of points remains as it was, but the suitcase of positive feelings returns loaded. Sporting did not score against him Málaga because he conceded a goal in the first half and because he seemed doomed not to score, no matter how much he attacked, generated and deserved it. Once it was the stick, another Dani Barrio (Málaga’s goalkeeper from Gijón), on several occasions the damn lack of aim and, at a key moment, a controversial referee decision.

Sporting was a completely different team from Tenerife. At La Rosaleda it started gray, but with a different philosophy. He bet on possession and speed on the wings; Cumic and Aitor García they participated a lot, although none of them were very fortunate. The Serbian generated but was too hasty; the man from Huelva was wrong and bad luck meant that he only managed to score when the VAR decided to cancel. Manu García returned to the midfielder (where he should play whenever possible) and, this time yes, he threw the team on his back. He debuted with good feelings Guille Rosas on the right side; on the left follows the inexplicable ostracism of Pablo García to make room for Saúl García. Babin returned to the center of the rear and acted as the starter Gragera, giving Javi Fuego a rest and leaving details but also some error that could be expensive, had it not been for Mariño. He was accompanied on the axis by Pedro Díaz, who is not in his best footballing moment.

Malaga started better, which went ahead in a book counterattack. But Sporting knew how to react. Aitor García forgave the first before the break. Gaspar, who replaced a pissed off Cumic, crashed into the post with a great serve from Manu García. And from the playmaker’s boots came precisely the controversial action of the match, the only one in which Sporting managed to send the ball to the back of the net, but which was annulled by a millimeter offside by Aitor García. We will never know if the referee and the WHERE they did not consider hand hitting Escassi with his arm or if, when analyzing the play chronologically, they indicated the offside without evaluating that possible hand.

Sporting continued attacking and attacking. Unforgivable was the mistake of Aitor García, who shot wide with almost the entire goal for him. Already on the horn, Djurdjevic tried for a foul, but the ball deflected by a Malaguista player was taken to a corner by Dani Barrio.

Sporting does not score points, but recovers sensations. And the second is not eaten, but it makes it easier for the first to arrive.
