Hugo Duro will struggle to forget the chance that was 2-3

Hugo Duro, Valencia’s forward, will struggle to forget a chance at 90+4: he was left unmarked and alone in front of Dimitrievski after a cut-back from Otorbi that Salinas couldn’t stop, but his shot went wide—wasting the chance to make it 2-3 and deliver Valencia’s first win since Javier Aguirre took over.

As MARCA reports, the moment came after Pablo García almost scored and Dimitrievski made an outstanding save with his hand. On the next sequence, Otorbi reached the byline and squared it back.

Aguirre defended his striker after the match, saying: “It’s true that a No. 9 is judged by goals, but he worked an awful lot… The last one went in his way because he couldn’t with the twins.” This season, Duro hasn’t found the net in eight appearances. Last campaign he scored 11 times for Valencia.
