Heartbreak before that as Lugo lost 2-3 at UD Ibiza's place.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lugo as they are travelling to their away game against Malaga in the La Liga 2. That match is four days after this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Lugo here at Estadio Anxo Carro in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games).
