Orihuela scored his first pre-season win this Saturday by beating La Unión 0-1 in the third summer friendly match where Vega Baja’s team improved their setup for next season in the Second RFEF after the promotion achieved last year. .
After the defeats against AFE Selection and Melilla, the scorpions experienced the first joy of August with a victory. This was minimal thanks to young team Guille’s slightly lucky goal in the 18th minute, as his shot bounced off an opponent before it even went into the goal.
In this way, Orihuela found a reward for her first superiority, as Salinas had a clear chance in the early stages of the duel. After the goal, the locals pressed for an even match, but the Oriolan defense managed to avoid it. Although the equality between the two competitors was preserved in the second part, the result did not change.

Orihuela reactions
At the end of the match, Orihuela coach Óscar Sánchez and football player Fran Martínez shared their impressions on the pitch after beating La Unión. “I’m happy with everybody’s aptitude, that they fit in with our idea of the game and the type of court, but under certain circumstances. The team is putting a load on the legs and that’s good,” said Sánchez.
“You have to know how to adapt to the grass. We have a pattern that doesn’t change, but the predispositions and conditions we find each week can be molded,” he added. “Good vibes and the team is still in good dynamics. It’s important to win pre-season to gain confidence,” said Fran Martínez. “They’ve had some feelings that we can avoid, but we have to keep working and improving.”
