In an entertaining match, Real Sociedad got a valuable 1-1 draw against Platense at the Excelsior Stadium and keeps the dream of permanence intact.
Carlos Bernárdez from the penalty spot scored for the selacios in the 57th minute. Breyner Bonilla equalized in the 75th minute.
With this result, the potters add 15 points to the General Table and one point from Real de Mines which is penultimate with 16 units and this Sunday will host Real España. The Selacios were fourth in the North Group with 12 points.
The selacios stay with a man less to minute 30
Both teams jumped on the field with the need to add up to win and bet on it from the start. The Buenosaireans had the first at the feet of Carlos Bernárdez in the start, but his shot was rejected by the post.
Bernárdez and Romero then tried with shots. The Tocoeños also created danger with shots from Riky Zapata, Bryan Rivera and Rony Martínez, but without luck.
In the 30th minute Platense was left with 10 players due to the expulsion of central defender Marcos Martínez when he knocked down Rony when he escaped alone towards the frame.
The goals came in the second half
Despite having one less man, coach John Jairo López kept the offensive proposal and his team always looked for the rival arc.
The prize for insistence came in the 57th minute when Bernárdez scored from the penalty spot after being knocked down in the area by defender Breyner Bonilla.
After so much, the locals began to handle the actions of the meeting. Castellón then sent Osman Melgares to the field and managed to match the actions.
The equalizer came in the 75th minute. In a corner kick taken by Melgares, Bonilla went ahead and headed it into the net.
Real Sociedad ended the game by pressing in search of the second, but goalkeeper José Marí Pineda stepped up and did not let anything pass.
