Deportivo La Coruña finds success with late comebacks

Overview

Following their loss to Sevilla, Deportivo La Coruña secured a 1-1 draw against Real Betis at the Abanca-Riazor, a result that moved the team into seventh position in the LaLiga standings heading into the international break.

Cucho Hernández scored for Betis in the 42nd minute after a defensive error, but Deportivo captain Diego Villares equalized with a header in the 87th minute. The match was overshadowed by officiating controversy when referee César Soto Grado declined to issue a red card to Hernández following contact with Ximo Navarro’s head. Deportivo manager Antonio Hidalgo criticized the decision, labeling the incident a “clear red,” while Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini argued the contact was incidental.

Deportivo’s performance was impacted by several squad issues, including a recent viral outbreak among players and a shoulder injury to midfielder Marc Casadó. Despite these challenges, the team showed improved tactical discipline in the second half. The match also highlighted the chemistry between Diego Villares and Mario Soriano, who have now played over 9,000 minutes together.

Since the draw with Betis, Deportivo has established a reputation for late-game comebacks in the Primera División. Under Hidalgo, the team has recovered points in four of its first seven matches, including encounters against Villarreal and Getafe. The club currently ranks second in the league for points rescued from losing positions, having secured five points through such recoveries, trailing only Barcelona.
