No time passed, no losses. Gustavo Siviero steered Intercity to a 3-0 victory over Alzira on day twenty-six without conceding a goal. The win gave the team another life, proving they do not crumble under pressure. Two goals in two minutes from Álvaro Pérez and Benja set the pace, a burst that outpaced the visitors. Enzo Cabrera later added a third, a strike that could help lower the overall target average with La Nucía, potentially decisive for direct promotion.
From the opening minutes, Intercity pursued a clear plan: develop the game, improve the quality of play, and enforce their familiar style. Shortcomings from Manu Herrera, Kecojevic, and Maxi Ribero were kept as discreet as possible. The Alicante side set the tempo and controlled the ball, though they were hampered by costly crossing errors.
Gradually, chances began to tilt toward the home team. The first big moment saw the Kaiser make a divine intervention, clearing a dangerous right-center. Juanma Ortiz glanced a pass as Benja lurked behind Alzira’s lines, and the loose ball found the net to open the scoring.
Josiel’s influence grew as the game moved on. In his first foray into a dangerous zone, the Panamanian forced Pawel to face a one-on-one, quickly closing the angle and denying Pol Roigé’s attempt. On the following corner, Miguel Marí managed a header that lacked precision, leaving the target unguarded but off course.
The Valencians attempted to wrench control from the visitors, probing the domain of the social media standout. Dani Atanes did not threaten often, but his best moment arrived with a long-range strike from Coscia that surprised the Intercity keeper and went wide.
Intercity’s last attack before the halftime whistle created another goal opportunity. A sharp steal by Josiel, a precise cross from the right wing, and a final pass that freed Cristian in the box looked promising. Yet the local playmaker finished poorly, not forcing Pawel to intervene.
Decision in two minutes
The second half saw Alzira appear more cohesive, but Intercity sealed the result with two goals in as many minutes. Earlier, a warning came when Dani Atanes pushed Benja forward and Pol Roigé finished with a clean strike that caught the visiting keeper off guard.
Intercity clinched the result between the 59th and 61st minutes with two hallmark moves. In the first, a corner from the right sailed across the box and was finished by Alvaro Perez with clinical precision. Dani Ponz then made a double substitution to alter the tempo, but another Josiel interception set up the next chance and the score sprang to 2-0.
As Alzira steadied briefly, Siviero’s men doubled down. Enzo Cabrera completed the scoring with a superb finish, sealing a convincing performance. The result leaves Intercity to watch La Nucía and their response as they chase the top spot in Group 5 of the Second RFEF, a trajectory that could influence direct promotion (cited from match reports and team updates).
