2-2: Draw at the Dani Jarque
RCD Espanyol score a 91st minute equaliser to earn a point at home against Terrassa FC
RCD Espanyol B drew 2-2 at home with Terrassa FC on Sunday.
Manolo González’s side hosted their Catalan rivals at the Ciutat Esportiva Dani Jarque with the intention of building on their six-game unbeaten run. Antoniu Roca put Espanyol ahead in the 24th minute after bringing down the ball and finishing it off with a volley on the turn for the opening goal.
When it seemed that the hosts were heading into the break with a narrow lead, Terrassa equalised with a cross shot from Jordi Cano. After the break, Marc Jurado had a guilt-edged chance to restore their lead, but his effort was in vain and the team’s failure to capitalised allowed Terrassa to score their second and turn the game in their favour.
Coach González made offensive changes to salvage something from the game, bringing on Armand and David Pecellín with seven minutes of normal time to play. And it was Armand who made the difference, driving down the wing and burying it across goal and into the bottom corner in the 91st minute.
They could not get the win, but a hard-fought point was enough for Espanyol to extend their unbeaten run and keep the positive momentum going in the Segunda RFEF.
