El Collao has two players without three for Alcoyano, suggesting that the home defeat against Ibiza is nothing more than a welcome bump in the road for Vicente Parras’ men. Three wins in a row at home and four wins in last five league games.

Alcoyano’s staging was second to nonehe rushes to dominate the duel with an extra dose of energy. Antón gave the first warning when he repelled a cross from the right by Rubén Gálvez, who had been forced to clear Lara’s powerful shot five minutes earlier.

The local breakout got its well-deserved reward in the form of a goal shortly after the quarter-hour mark and after both Juanan and Lara returned to look for the opposition goal. 1-0 ended with a move from the right after a corner from which Carrasco put the ball to the far post; There Farru not only prevented him from disappearing on the baseline but also returned so Imanol only had to score from the small area..

Completely overwhelmed, El Recreativo tried to react and threw himself at the Mayor’s feet. But the clearest of the Huelva players could not even convert such an opportunity as the referee assistant interrupted a good counter-attack against Caye Quintana for a seemingly non-existent offside.

Until the break, Parras’ team continued to offer better vibes; So much so that after a commendable move from Lara, Juanan scored the second goal and Lara dived down to retrieve the ball on the left wing. He kept it and placed it on a center-shaped plate for his captain. However, this did not connect well.

In the second half the locals tried to slow down and defend the area around the Valens area well, aware that maintaining the tempo for most of the first half was an impossible task. They did this until the people of Huelva scared Caye Quintana with a disallowed goal, this time he was ahead.

Flurry of luck and 2-0

Alcoyano’s reaction was immediate and definitive. This defeat was accompanied by a series of chances in just five minutes where Rubén Gálvez saved his team until he had no choice but to give up. The key to this move for Deportivo was Antón, who was replaced after Sergi López entered the field..

The barrage of chances initiated by Lara following Albisua’s heist on the opposite field, followed by Antón himself firing a shot inside the area, was continued by a double chance by Alcaina and again by Antón. Alcaina decided it was time to impose a penalty and took advantage of his speed to score a great goal on the counter-attack, leaving Pinillos behind in the race and beating the opposition goal according to the center forward’s rules..

Alcoyano’s convincing victory shows the progress the team has made in recent weeks as they beat play-off placed Recreativo using intensity, pressure, dominance and taking advantage of the best opportunities in the opposition half. A week ago, Ibiza was too much for Deportivo, but nothing is impossible in El Collao for the blue-white team, which is taking a new step towards its goal of ensuring its permanence in Primera RFEF for another year as soon as possible.
