Facing Hércules just the day before, Alcoyano put his biggest punch when he returned from the locker room after the break to punish the duel, scoring two goals in just three minutes. Agüero was the author of many visitors by converting a sentence, much protested by the locals, and Rubio. Nacho Muñoz closed the gap and excited the final part of the match.

Under pressure from his fans, Orihuela showed more spirit and had more scoring chances. All this despite his first defeat with the injury of Simón, who had to be replaced by Eloy. Camacho and Marc Sirera were the cleanest in the goalless first half.

After Jawed’s first opportunity, Alcoyano’s goals came in the 50th and 53rd minutes. The referee determined a hold from the corner kick as the maximum penalty by the referee and Agüero did not forgive. Not having time to react, Rubio doubled his team’s lead. So much for Orihuela.

The Scorpios tried to react and their coaches initiated a series of changes to reduce the differences and dream of a comeback. Jawed continued to show himself as the most active of the locals, but was always lacking in finding the last step towards the goal, either by his own definition or with greater success in the search for a teammate.

Vicente Parras’ men knew how to impose their greater experience in order to maintain the substantial income they had. With 20 minutes left, those from Vega Baja found their persistence rewarded. After a refusal, Nacho Muñoz recorded 1-2, which gave him hope of returning to his team.

However, Orihuela’s intentions were almost always stopped by a strong Alcoyano in the back, leaving not many options for scoring. Jawed had one final skirmish to try to pull, but the fate of his action was usual during the hour-and-a-half duel.

Alcoyano’s victory leaves Orihuela without a chance to advance to the next round. The Scorpions must face Atzeneta at home next weekend. A game that Alcoyano will continue to keep a close eye on as they need a puncture from the Valencians.
