Racing Santander were denied a late victory in their seventh La Liga fixture of the season. The Cantabrian side drew 1-1 with SD Huesca at El Alcoraz on Sunday after a 95th-minute strike from substitute Ivi Lopez cancelled out Cejudo's opening goal.
The match seemed destined for an away win following Cejudo's breakthrough, which put Racing in the driving seat. The introduction of Ivi Lopez proved decisive, however, as he snatched a point for the hosts with virtually the last kick of the game. The result leaves Racing Santander in 16th place in the standings, with 7 points from two wins, one draw and four losses.
The manager's reaction at full-time was one of clear frustration, seeing a solid performance unravel at the death. The team now heads into the international break with this bittersweet taste, aware of the need to close out games more effectively. Their next challenge is a home fixture against Valencia at El Sardinero on October 11th, a key match against another side battling near the bottom.
With this draw, Racing's form across their last five matches reads two wins and three defeats, a run that includes a heavy 5-0 loss to Celta Vigo last week. The immediate focus will be on finding consistency and securing three points against Valencia to climb away from the relegation zone.
