Unbelievable but true. HE Elche CF They had everything to beat last-place Cartagena.. gave him one taking a bath for the first timestood out with a Goal by Óscar Plano and it looked like it would all end with a quiet victory, a fifth successive home win, which would allow them to temporarily settle into promotion play-off positions.
Everything looked so beautiful but The second half changed the outcome of the match greatly. The changes are mainly Alfredo OrtuñoIt bore fruit for the people of Cartagena. Two goals from the striker turned the score around and gave the guests victory.
A real trigger. Overconfidence leading to playing with fire caused Elche to burn. Worse, they lose a great opportunity to place themselves in the noble zone of classification and Cartagena leaves the last place as soon as possible.
Beccacece returns to reprise the starting 11 His players adapted very well to the Argentinian coach’s football concept in the first 45 minutes.
Franjiverdes gained the upper hand against Cartagena, who were waiting behindThe lines were very close together and the defense advanced and made some steals and counter-attacked.
In this situation, The Elche team was patient, moving the ball calmly from one side to the otherTrying to take advantage of loopholes.
Mourad tried his luck five minutes later and Gonzalo Verdú blocked the shot. Immediately afterwards, Bigas rose to the heights. Nico Castro also tried to shoot from the edge of the penalty area, but this shot was stopped. Marc Martinez.
The people of Cartagena did not abandon their fields. And in the 18th minute, Elche’s first goal came.. Just when the away team stretched for the first time and besieged San Román’s goal with a side foul and a corner kick.
In the corner thrown to the near post, Áleix Febas stole the ball and turned on the turbo to launch the counter-attack and he put the ball in such a way that Óscar Plano took advantage of Marc Martínez’s poor start. The cross shot hit the post and slid towards the goal (1-0). It was a fair reward for the absolute dominance of the Franjiverdes. The Madrid football player’s sixth goal in this league.
Because the score was positive, Elche waited longer for Cartagena to come out of the cave. Half an hour before the match Óscar Plano could have scored the second goal but the game was disallowed due to offsidewhen he was on his own to score a goal.
The break was reached with minimal advantage for the much superior Elche team Against an opponent who barely offered anything in the first 45 minutes and was one of the worst players to pass through Martínez Valero this season.
Overconfidence and coup
But, unexpectedly, everything changed dramatically after the holiday. WITH Julian Calero He didn’t like what he saw and made three changes. subtract Ortuño, Musto and Lautaro de León for some lost J’sCarlos Real, Narváez and Héctor Hevel.
These differences revolutionized the people of Cartagena. Ortuño and Lautaro de León send the Franjiverde defense into a frenzyleaking everywhere.
San Román avoided a draw at first. Ortuño was about to score after a mistake by Clerc. Lautaro de León had another goal but the Elche goalkeeper canceled it out.
The shooter scored so many goals that the draw came in the 66th minute.. Ivan Calero Given the passivity of the Elche defense, Ortuño scored the equalizer by controlling the ball with his chest.
Cartagena goal caused doubts, nerves and Elche seemed to change from night to day…worst. He wasn’t even right about the permits…
Elche’s team was a mirage of their first-half performance.
Beccacece had granted entry. Cristian Salvadorodream Borja Garces with Nico Castro And murad. Fidel’s He also carried out his duties Nico Fernandez.
The reaction was expected but far from reality. And the blow came in the 83rd minute. Umaro, who was causing trouble on the left wing, made a cross into the penalty area and Ortuño made the score 1-2 at the far post.To the despair of Franjiverde fans. Yes we can! Not so the more than 500 Cartagena followers who began shouting. saw his team turn the score around and Added three points that allowed him to step out of the red light of the classification.
Elche tried desperately. Beccacece’s last letter was from Sergio León. The Cordoba man’s header sailed past the top corner..
Destiny has been written. Cartagena got the victory and Elche, who promised them happiness, will not be able to realize their dream of finishing the day in the play-off places..
A hard blow that should not have gone unnoticed in the last two bets before the end of the year and in the first round. Next Friday in Oviedo and at home against Mirandés on Tuesday, December 19.
