Nsongo and Soriano inspire Depor’s near-impossible turnaround | OneFootball

Bil Nsongo and Soriano stole the show as Deportivo turned a losing position into 2-3. As reported by AS, the ratings reflected errors and moments of inspiration.

Hidalgo’s bold XI sprang a surprise in Stoichkov, who scored after two minutes and struck the post on 19. Zakaria impeded Fraga in the 0-1 move. Álvaro Ferllo saved superbly in the play that still ended 1-1.

Altimira suffered against Ochieng, improving only when pushing on with numerical superiority. Noubi was unusually slack in build-up and was withdrawn, and reacted poorly on Ochieng’s 1-1. Loureiro, usually steady, inexplicably gifted Ochieng the 2-1. Quagliata returned from suspension and delivered a stream of crosses.

Soriano first dropped alongside Riki in a new, staggered double pivot before moving into the hole and demanding the ball. Riki dovetailed well but was withdrawn after the cheap 2-1 upset Hidalgo’s plans. Luismi started for Yeremay, tidy until the equaliser then largely quiet.

Mella wore the armband with Yeremay out, starting left and finishing right, but this was not his day. Zakaria faded after his early involvement.

José Ángel and Patiño arrived in the 55th minute to regain control, Patiño almost made it 2-2 with a header. Mulattieri came on once 2-1 forced a rethink, hassling the centre-backs. Arnau Comas replaced Noubi to clean up the build-up.

Nsongo entered on 74 minutes for Stoichkov, a minute before Real went down to ten. With his first sight he crashed in a superb first Liga goal to revive Depor. Soriano then applied the finish for 2-3.
