Oviedo was not able to hold the advantage in the electronic that Jaime Suárez’s goal granted him
Albacete was able to salvage a tie thanks to a goal from Álvaro Rodríguez, whose injury only allowed him to play seven minutes
Oviedo let an Albacete escape alive this Sunday, which was seen below on the scoreboard in the first half and who, without having control of the game, managed to equalize in the second thanks to Albes’ substitutions, which served to tie but not to prevail over an Oviedo team that only the lack of goal prevented them from resuming the path of win at home

The first half was marked for the almost seven minutes that the game had to be stopped when some of the lights went outa problem that he solved in the shortest possible time after mitigating the voltage drop suffered by one of the phases that supplies light to the field.
Before the break it had been Albacete who signed the first approaches with separate shots from Maikel Mesa and Olaetxea, but the first crashed into Braat and the second into the side of the net.
After the restart, It was Oviedo who turned into the opposite area based on Bretones’ centers from the left, although neither found a clear shot from Sergi Enrich or Vallejo.
What did go well for those from Cervera was the strategy: Bretones crashed a free kick taken from short against a defender and the rebound, hunted by Jimmy, became a great goal from outside the midfielder area, which hit him hard, at medium height and crossed, thus preventing Barragán from arriving.
Nothing else happened until a second half in which those from Albes tried to come out with one more march and came close to equalizing with a pass behind the Djetei defense that Carlos Isaac gave up to Higinio and ended up disrupting Braat.
The referee signaled a penalty in an action by Boyomo on Tarín shortly afterbut after consulting the VAR he retracted and the blues lost the option to increase distances since there had not been enough contact between them.
Albes shook the tree giving entrance to Escriche and Álvaro Rodríguez and the effect could not be more immediatebecause an assist from the first a few seconds after entering served for the second to sign the match by beating Braat.
The visiting scorer had no luck, that only a few minutes later and in a defensive action he was forced to leave the field of play due to injury.
Oviedo turned again in search of 2-1, but it never camenot even with the entry into the field of the five offensive changes of Cervera -three of them pure forwards-, and Albacete came out unscathed from a Tartiere that had to settle for a draw.
