As if it was today… seven years ago Leganés won against Sanse in an epic battle in the rain

As if it was today… seven years ago Leganés managed to win an epic match in the rain against San Sebastián de los Reyes (1-0) at Butarque and get closer to promotion play-off positions. Óscar Vega scored the only goal for the pepineros. Pablo Alfaro’s team had to play with 10 players for more than 30 minutes.

The white and blues were 5 points away from the leader, Tenerife and 6 points away from their immediate chaser. Leganés’ initial squad was: Rubén Falcón, De la Vega, Corona, Víctor Gómez, Juanmi, Aicart, Álex Bernal, Batres, Óscar Vega, Carlos Martínez and Dioni. Álvaro Cámara, Valleros and Fer Ruiz played on the second half.

The wind and the rain had main roles on the match that day at Butarque. The pitch was heavy and difficult to play in for both teams. At 49’ it was Álex Bernal who assisted Óscar Vega to score the only goal of the match. The rest of the match wouldn’t get easier for the locals after Víctor Gómez was sent off by the referee, but the team remained strong and managed to get the 3 points to keep up their fight to reach promotion.
