Cordoba went into Galicia to try and salvage their season while Depor were looking to end their poor run of form while also condemning a direct rival but no one could’ve expected how this game would’ve turned out.
Depor got off to a quick start, testing Juan Carlos with two quick strikes, but the Cordoba defence weren’t prepared to give up a goal so easily and managed to get settled and equalise the match for a good portion of the first half.
In the 21st minute, Florin Andone looked to have scored the opening goal, but it was ruled offside and the rebound was scooped up by Fabricio.
Deportivo went on to take several light shots, but nothing the Andalusians couldn’t handle as both sides went into half-time with a scoreless draw, though Cordoba looked to be the more determined side.
This was a tale of two halves as a relatively quiet first half turned into all out madness in the second.
In the first minute of the second half, Deportivo were still getting over Toche’s goal that was ruled offside to close out the first half, allowing Cordoba to get a jump on the home side and in the 55th minute, Florin Andone finally got his goal to send Depor reeling.
Things would only get worse for Depor as Luisinho was booked with his second yellow card and sent off in the 68th minute, leaving Victor’s side with 10 men for the remaining half-hour of the game.
It would continue to get crazier as Florin, the hero for Cordoba just 20 minute prior, would score an own goal, robbing his side of three points and almost certainly securing relegation with their fourth own goal of the season.
Cordoba were clearly the better team, but as has been the case all season, the little details have killed them.
