Alcoyano “got up early” with Sergi García’s goal, which he did not know how to capitalize on, and Atletico saw how the Baleares came backTo return empty-handed from the Mallorcan region, adding their second consecutive defeat and interrupting the good run that had seen Vicente Parras’ men move clear of the relegation positions.
The locals began the conflict with the aim of gaining the upper hand, and the visitor’s reaction could not have been stronger. With five minutes left, Alcoyano took advantage of Miguelete’s mistake to create a quick counter-attack after a robbery in the opponent’s half to take the lead on the scoreboard. Nieto assisted Sergi García and made excellent defense against Ramón Vila.
This advantage allowed Parras’ men to retreat and resist Balearic attempts to create danger without much trouble. The first clear chance for them came from Pastrana, who had a good shot left footed that missed the post.
Just when the situation seemed completely under control, Atlético Baleares equalized the game, an ideal type of match for Alcoyano. He did this by playing his game on the left wing. Forniés curled a beautiful cross, led by Roberto, out of Valens’ reach..
Locals are more accurate
The second act almost followed the beginning of the first. Juanma Barrero’s team pushed from the start, with a free kick taken by Roberto, the player who once scored the goal. And right after that, the other striker replied: Sergi García, in a good individual move, unfortunately for his team, hit the crossbar instead of the net of the opponent’s goal..
The next attempt to break the tie, also for the visitors, was a side foul in which Lara tried to surprise Ramón Vila with a powerful shot and the goalkeeper responded with difficulty, albeit effectively.
It was 2-1 in the open field, just like a goal classic David RodríguezThis shows that the sense of smell has not disappeared despite the passage of time. The striker beat both the defenders and Valens with a cross from the right by David Navarro to the far post.
After a poor start from Valens in the final minutes, Alcoyano saved themselves from 3-1 with a double move, first in which the goalkeeper made a great save and then the referee did not give Farru a clear penalty decision. This also gave Deportivo time to equalise, but failed to do so.
