It's been over two months since Sporting celebrated its last victory in this tournament. Manolo Preciado's Rojiblancos visit Miguel Angel Lotina's Deportivo, who wants to celebrate a fifth consecutive victory at home.

Deportivo La Coruña vs Sporting Gijón Match Report

Deportivo and Sporting were in urgent need of the three points to survive the bottom fight. The draw might not be enough for any of them to finish the year cool, calm and collected. Aythami opened the score for the hosts in the 12th minute, before Diego Castro saved the game for Sporting in the 88th minute of the game.

The draw came with the bitterness of Andres Guardado's injury, who was playing his first match in over two months as it was expected he was fully recovered from his injuries. Sporting's winger Alberto Lora was one of the most unbalancing players on the field, assisting Castro in the late equalizer.

Deportivo could have sealed th victory in the first 30 minutes of the game, as their aerial superiority and the unchallenged speed of its wingers overwhelmed the visitors early in the game. Sporting survived, and they got stronger after such intense beginning.

Juan Carlos Valeron drove Deportivo's attack with a strong understanding of the inner workings of the team, but Adrian Lopez failed to translate his finesse into advantage for the hosts. Deportivo might have made enough merits to deserve the victory, but their lack of efficiency was their main enemy at the Riazor.
