Albacete Balompié is the most unpredictable team in the Second Division. The same wins 1-4 at El Ferrol and loses 2-5 with Dépor at the ‘Belmonte’. And if last week they were tied at home against Córdoba, a smaller rival, this Sunday they also faced Huesca, who have more strength, in the 80th minute.
Higinio was the absolute protagonist of “El Alcoraz”. Óscar Sielva made it 1-0 with a masterful free kick from the edge of the area less than half an hour into the match, but the La Mancha striker provoked (and converted) a penalty to level the score and then brought the score to 1-2 with a long shot which ate the home goal before the break.
In the second half, “Alba” did not suffer excessively until, in a corner, Raúl Lizoain was quite embarrassed, he failed to recover the ball and Sergi Enrich, on the rebound, found himself at 2-2.
