Lubach, who was waiting for it in the box. That's 0 - 5! Don't forget to thank the set pieces coach for that idea! 89 minutes in, EFC appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only solid. juanvi had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

The most dominating juanvi player was without a doubt J. Aramendia. However, C. Valdeón made a disastrous appearance. M. Moner performed admirably for EFC. G. Pelle was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
