Walter Ferretti shared the points with H & H Export in the Primera División's Apertura stage, ending 1-1 on Tuesday evening. The result keeps both sides hovering around the middle of the table, though the gap between them tells its own story. To be fair, neither side looked particularly convincing all night.
B. Corea gave the hosts a deserved lead in the 23rd minute, capitalising on a moment of hesitation in the Ferretti back line. They looked comfortable for the next hour, picking up two bookings in five minutes when a challenge went a bit too hot. And here's the thing — you can sense when a team stops pushing, and that was H & H Export after the opening goal.
O. Hinestroza dragged his side back into the contest in the 88th minute, a late intervention that felt like it came from nowhere. The stadium fell silent when Ferretti finally broke through, and suddenly this was anyone's game. By then, the visitors had been on the back foot for most of the second half, but they refused to lie down.
Looking at the table, H & H Export sit fifth with 11 points from seven games, two wins and two defeats. Walter Ferretti trail in seventh with seven points from eight outings, five losses already weighing on them. The recent form hasn't been kind to either side — both have lost their last two outings before this draw.
What stands out isn't the result itself, but the timing. A late equaliser always feels more valuable than one scored in the first half, and for Ferretti it was a lifeline. They're staring at the drop if this form continues, but one point away from home is better than nothing.
