From the 48th minute, Alcoyano did not know how to maintain his minimal advantage against his opponent, who played low numerically, and paid the price with a two-point loss, preventing them from reaching their promotion positions. Against Gimnàstic de Tarragona at El Collao, Vicente Parras’ men managed to take the lead on the scoreboard and be better by several minutes, but the match got to that point after Montes Arce was kicked out shortly after the start of the second half. that the numerical superiority of the natives was never noticed, and Lupu’s added time goal nullifies Alcoy’s victory.
In the 5th minute of the game, Parras’ team gave a serious warning with a shot from the corner, which forced Manu García to work hard to avoid the goal.
The warning became a reality when a defensive mistake by the Catalan team resulted in three local players being placed on the field with the possibility of a shot. Moyita took the ball in 13 minutes to score the goal against Manu García’s departure..
Alcoyano seemed superior at that moment and from then until the end of the first half he posed a lot of danger on the counter. The local team in these actions always had several unmarked men who quickly and dangerously placed themselves in the area defended by Manu García. They improved the score many times with Rubio and Moyita, who hit the pole in the 20th minute.however, Alcoyano did not take advantage of their options and came to rest with a minimal income to lose mercilessly in the final moment of the game.
Things soon turned upside down for Alcoyano in the second episode. Montes Arce sent off with a direct red cardHaving to go to the dressing rooms in the 48th minute, Tarragona’s team remained outnumbered, but went after the equalization goal, giving Parras’s team more room to attack. . Despite the lack of one person, thanks to the courage of the visitors, the match went on and on. Even in the 63rd and 71st minutes, two balls came to the pole, one for each team.
First up were the Catalans, who were finished ahead by Gorostidi, who stumbled onto the board in a car and crashed into goalkeeper Bañuz and fell to the bottom of the post. Then it was Armental who finished the dispatch of the locals.
final disappointment
Despite the difficulty of outnumbering, Nàstic did not give up and their prize came in the 91st minute of overtime.. It was Lupu who succeeded by finishing off a good middle with a head from Bonilla. Curiously, the two main players of the goal entered the field from the bench in the 73rd minute.
The logical joy of rescuing one point with the one man short that could be seen in the Catalans contrasted with the frustration of the locals, who were afflicted by a major disaster who did not know how to maintain their income or increase their advantage when they had the chance. There is no time left to react to the match with a hard blow.
