this intercity He was surprised by Cornellà’s efficiency and success in counter-attacking and could not avoid a defeat that seemed to come soon. Those from Alicante did not start the game plugged in and the opponent took advantage of this to take the first hit. Intercity flourished after the break, but they lacked fluency and were unable to break through the good defense of the Catalans who were killers in the counterattack.

In this match, Gustavo Siviero lost Ferroni in the left lane due to injury, and Álvaro Pérez in the middle of the defense due to suspension. Despite everything, they offered a game similar to previous matches, based on possession and good control of the ball, to take the game to their court. But this time it didn’t go well.

In the first few minutes, Cornellà devoted themselves to applying strong pressure that allowed them to steal the ball from an Intercity team trying to control midfield. Thus, he quickly counterattacked and posed a threat to the framework Herrera was defending.

In the fourth minute of the match, in one of these counter attacks, Gustavo Siviero’s team got a corner in favor of the Catalans, which resulted in a defensive fault. Rubén Enri took the opportunity to push the ball amid the mayhem of the players. After hitting Emilio Nsue, the ball went into the local goal.

At the start of the second half, Intercity put more weight on the game, but they were unable to take advantage of clear scoring opportunities that were not from set pieces. In this way Cornellà continued to take advantage to pose a threat to them. Herrera had to work hard to make three saves in one minute and miss the second away goal in the 55th minute..

Enri was unforgivable at the 60th minute in another counterattack move where a possible offside was requested.. The Cornellà player stood up to Herrera and beat him from the bottom to make the score 0-2. But Intercity still had something to say. And that answer came two minutes later when Gerard awarded a penalty to the home team’s offensive play. Xemi was responsible for putting his team into a points battle by defeating Lucas Anacker.

From that moment and until the end of the game, the Alicante team entered a state of wanting and not being able to. He was not in a position to break the spider’s web he had built to protect his opponent’s income. In addition, he had to take some precautions in his intent to draw, as Cornellà continued to maintain this danger in the counter-attack that characterized him throughout the game, which ensured he was always ahead on the scoreboard.

During the extended period, the fans started to resign and leave their seats. He did not trust that the draw could be overdone, and with good reason, as the match ended with a final result of 1-2, completing Gustavo Siviero’s team’s second consecutive defeat.

The next day, Intercity will face Athletic Club B away.
