Zaragoza held to a draw by a valiant Alcorcón

R. Zaragoza and AD Alcorcón drew 1-1 in matchday 31 of Liga Adelante. This result means the side from Aragon remain in sixth on 47 points, while the Madrid side are 12th on 41.

Despite the fact the visitors had the game’s first chance as Máyor missed a one on one with Pablo Alcolea, it was Zaragoza who drew first blood. After 16 minutes, Pedro Sánchez found Willian José, and the Brazilian forward made it 1-0 to the home side at La Romareda. Willian José had an opportunity to double his tally and his side’s lead, however Javi Jiménez was equal to his powerful effort.

Everything changed in the second half, when José Bordalás’s side upped the ante and fought for a draw. They got their reward after 67 minutes, thanks to a Fausto Tienza thunderbolt, which flew in at the far post. The man from Extremadura was a menace throughout, and might have won it for his side, but his shot grazed the crossbar late on. After a hectic finale, both sides shared the points.
