Perhaps a draw was the fairest result in a poor match in which little good football was played. Unfortunately the result was also influenced by many questionable refereeing decisions.
With new signing Guillermo having a free role and Rivero and Abdel playing wide up front there was a more positive feel to the approach of Mazarron with Robert no longer isolated.
In the first quarter of the game, Mazarron were the better team and it took a good save from the Bullense keeper to prevent a shot from Rivero putting them in front. Several other good attempts also came to nothing but in the 27th minute following a collision between Robert and the keeper, a penalty was awarded and the keeper was booked.
Unfortunately Poyato blasted the penalty against the bar and the opportunity was gone. However Mazarron continued to press and a strong run down the right by Guillermo resulted in a good cross which was hammered into the net by Robert to give Mazarron a slender lead at the interval.
Having had a quiet first half, the referee sprung to life after the break and questionable free kicks were awarded on a regular basis with a string of yellow cards for players on both sides, many of them for no apparent reason.
Play was never allowed to flow and, as a result, the second half was a poor spectacle. Then, in the 7th or 8th minute of added time, the referee awarded a free kick to Bullense for a perfectly fair tackle by a Mazarron player. The resultant free kick was hammered into the top of the net to give Bullense a share of the points and spark a wave of protests from Mazarron players and supporters. The goal was the final kick of the game.
Man of the match: Rivero
Team. Peru, Borja, Diego, Poyatos, Guillermo (Pescau), Alcaraz, Juan Antonio, Chico, Rivero, Abdel (Pepe), Robert (Rollon jnr).
