On reflection, Mazarrón could have been unlucky to be beaten by such a high score against a strong and well organized Totana side. Although they were outplayed a lot of chances came and went and defensive errors contributed to the goals conceded
The game got off to a bizarre start when in the 7th minute the referee booked Rollon just as Mazarrón were about to take a free kick. No one could work out why he had been booked and this was cleared up a couple of minutes later when the referee decided that he should have booked Alfonso and changed the bookings. This was fortunate later in the game when Rollon was booked and would have been sent off had the earlier decision not been reversed.
After 9 minutes, a speculative shot was saved by Ruben but the ball ran free to an unmarked Totana player who scored with ease
Several chances came Mazarrón´s way, Diego shot high and wide, Edin came close to scoring and Alcaraz shot onto the roof of the net. Pollo then shot narrowly wide and a long range shot from Diego also went wide.
At the start of the second half, Edin ran on to a through ball but it was deflected for a corner. He then managed to get himself booked and was sensibly substituted whilst still angrily debating the decision with the referee.
Ruben then made a succession of good saves but the flood gates eventually opened, firstly from a header which hit the post and rebounded to an unmarked player who scored.
The third goal came when a Totana player was left unmarked in the area to score with a header from a corner. Then the home side increased the lead further with a well worked goal one following a quick break on the right.
The best chance for Mazarrón came when Gines saved a shot and the ball fell loose to a Totana player.
