The Mini Submarine have earned a point in Ferrol thanks to goals from Ontiveros and Forés
Villarreal B put in a great performance in their visit to Racing de Ferrol, taking the lead twice with goals from Ontiveros and Forés, although the home side equalised on both occasions through Heber and Iker.
The start of the game was very evenly matched. Both teams wanted to take control of the ball from the outset and were forced to make quick transitions in order to keep up with the pressure from their opponents. Morro had a couple of good saves in his first few minutes. The goalkeeper from Madrid, as well as Lekovic, made his first appearance for the Mini Submarine.
Ontiveros, a key player, was on hand to break the deadlock with a close-range effort that was impossible for former Yellows Academy player Cantero to stop..
However, the home side were awarded a penalty in the early stages of the second half, which Carlos Vicente took advantage of to equalise and restore parity on the scoreboard.
Miguel Álvarez’s men did not let up and Forés, taking advantage of a great cross from Carlos Romero, headed in the second on the hour mark. But the game went crazy and the home side equalised again seconds later with a goal from Iker from a seemingly harmless move.
In this way, the reserve team earned a point against an opponent unbeaten in LALIGA Hypermotion for the moment. Villarreal B’s next match will take place on Saturday 16th September at 4:15pm CEST at El Alcoraz against SD Huesca.
