Algemesi 0 - 6 Mercadillo (367715444)

Dark skies made the crowd of 8944 at Coliseu Algemesinenc a little nervous, but the rain held off. Patrick Rapeneau was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Květoslav Gazdík and Manuel Badorf. Algemesi decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Starters: Collado - Ibarra, Medrano, Tonţ, Fernández Solar - Luque, Busturia, Descals, Mahiques - Pârvulescu, Ozores.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Mercadillo. They fielded: Navarrete Rubio - das Teixugueiras, Montal, Ibañez Pacheco - Lapeña, Sánchez-Asiaín, Ribera, Mangado, Fontanillas - Butcă, Gutiérrez de Foz.

After 10 minutes, Mercadillo put themselves up 0 - 1, as V. Sánchez-Asiaín finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. The Mercadillo free kick 23 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of A. Ribera, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 2! A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from M. Lapeña after 35 minutes, and prevented Mercadillo from going up another goal. 37 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as M. Mangado finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After this, you could see that the players of Mercadillo were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Mercadillo, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

D. das Teixugueiras came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over X. Collado but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. After 67 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for M. Mangado who increased Mercadillo's lead to 0 - 4. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 73 minutes into the match, putting Mercadillo ahead 0 - 5. V. Sánchez-Asiaín was the scorer. Mercadillo's V. Ibañez Pacheco refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 80 minutes. With 82 minutes played, Mercadillo put themselves up 0 - 6 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Lapeña. Mercadillo had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

Most important Algemesi player was C. Mahiques. X. Collado turned in a dismal performance, however. Mercadillo's best player was F. Butcă. A. Fontanillas on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 6.
