Racing moved closer to their dream with a thrilling 4-2 victory over SD Huesca at El Sardinero. The visitors struck first, capitalizing on a chaotic moment inside Racing’s area from a set piece, their trademark strength. Óscar Sielva seized control in the six-yard box and beat Eriksson to open the scoring. Racing pushed for an equalizer but repeatedly crashed against Huesca’s crowded defense, which could have gone into halftime with a bigger lead had Sergi Enrich’s goal not been ruled out for offside by the linesman.
The introduction of Asier Villalibre at halftime sparked Racing into life. He equalized with his very first touch, heading past Dani Martín. Minutes later, Álvaro Mantilla broke down the right flank to receive a pass from Íñigo Vicente and completed the comeback in just five minutes. Andrés Martín then made no mistake to seal the win after another assist from Íñigo Vicente. Óscar Sielva pulled one back from the penalty spot, putting the fright into José Alberto’s side, but Racing closed out another home victory.
