The victories of Sporting and Malaga leave Amorebieta on the wing

Amorebieta showed claw and courage this Saturday to carry out Lezama's transcendental match against Huesca. A narrow victory thanks to Gorka Guruzeta's thirteenth goal of the season that fueled the blues' hopes of fighting for permanence. They looked two points behind and that gave them wings and renewed spirits to face the last two days of competition.

However, Sporting and Málaga, the two teams that were temporarily located a stone's throw from the zornotzarras, have been in charge of calming down the spirits in Urritxe at once. Neither Asturians nor Andalusians have stumbled in their respective duels against Girona and Tenerife and have recovered the five-point gap over relegation. Very bad news for Amorebieta, also for Real Sociedad B, for whom the fight to save the category has already become a true miracle. They must win their last two games and hope that their opponents do not add a single point.

Abelardo's Sporting won 2-1 at El Molinón against Girona, whose presence in the play-off is complicated by the defeat. A phase of ascent that Tenerife already has practically in hand. The chicharrero team fell at the Heliodoro at the hands of a more accurate Málaga (0-2) in a game full of nerves in the final minutes.

Those five points away from Urritxe's men with respect to the permanence zone become, now almost definitively, a real slab that will be very difficult to lift, since there are only six left to play.

Amorebieta will try to earn one more extra life, extend their dream for another week, next Saturday at nine o'clock at night against Cartagena. Against the Efesé team, without options to sneak into the noble zone, Haritz Mujika's men will seek their second victory of the course away from home. They have no other. And trust that either Sporting or Malaga, or both, do not score against Fuenlabrada and Burgos. The first already relegated and the second with its continuity in Second assured. Any other combination would mean the decline of the combative Amorebieta.

Next day – Saturday 21, 20:00h

Fuenlabrada – Sporting

Malaga – Burgos
