The 61st edition of the Festa d’Elx Trophy heads to Leeds. Making their debut in front of 12,117 spectators at Martínez Valero yesterday, Machín’s team changed its image, but did not change the usual result. lost 1-2.
great first half
Elche made a very complete first half, opportunities, pressure, deep passes, solidarity in defense, quick retreats after losses, majority control of the ball, deciding players. Another Elche, come on. At the finish line, an almost unseen Edgar Badia. In contention, Machín remained true to the style of three centre-backs and two wingers. John served as a pure defender with Bigas on his left and Clerc on the lane. Right, Palacios and Josan. The midfield was dominated by a strong dominance and well positioned Mascarellwith the combative Raúl Guti and Pere Milla. Ahead, Roger and Boyé created space, received the ball well, and successfully walked away.
first time
Referee in the 3rd minute Cancels Milla’s offside goal after Boyé’s shot a few meters from the fort, but refused. In the 4th minute, John saved a good chance for Leeds and collided with Summerville. Both crippled the playing field soon after. Without a doubt the worst news of the night. Gonzalo Verdu entered.
had it at Roger
Mascarell finished high in the 16th minute and In the 23rd minute, Boyé gave Roger a great pass, leaving him alone far from the area. The attacker came in exhausted and his shot went high. Frangiverde bravely and powerfully entered all the balls on set. Guti received a yellow card in the 27th minute. Two minutes later, a counter directed by Milla was stopped by Roger, but his shot was parried for a corner by a defender.
local destination
Another very good game at 37 years old; Josan, Milla and Boyé triangulation. It ends with a corner kick. One minute before the end of the match, Mascarell picks up the ball in the midfield, raises his head and sees the lack of control of Josan, who shoots into the opponent’s goal like an arrow and pokes the goalkeeper as he leaves. The ball hits the post and goes in. Gooooooooooool! of Crevillentinovery active throughout the match.
second part
The second half started with seven changes at Franjiverde. Badia, Guti, Boyé, Milla, Josan, Roger and Clerc appeared. Werner, Quina, Collado, Fidel, Ponce, Lirola and Lautaro entered. Another Elche in Faces. Another Elche like in the first half. Despite the win, the players jumped with the same hunger. And strength in the entries. But in 59, in his first raid, Leeds draw with a well-knit bench and concluded with pleasure by Gelhardt. Instantly four changes on Elche (Gumbau, Nico, Cocca and Pamies entered for Verdú, Bigas, Palacios and Mascarell) and five changes on the opponent. Gumbau was placed as a centre-back. Follow the same drawing on this revamped Elche.
ancient ghosts
After the away goal for a moment the old ghosts are back, but the team sprang to their feet again and took control. The three corners almost followed him. Fidel appears. Also Collado and Quina. In the 76th minute, Nico takes a great shot and the goalkeeper tips his fingers away. Now there are more errors. as well as Leeds is more daring and skin-conscious. In ’87, Green Franjiverdes allowed Kilc to fire.h strikes a whip blow from outside the area and ends. Another defeat despite another face.
