Mazarron 1 UD Los Garres 1

A thoroughly enjoyable and exciting game ended in a deserved draw, with two evenly matched teams going blow for blow until the final whistle.  Overall, Mazarron had the edge on chances but tremendous saves from the visiting keeper thwarted them on several occasions.

Mazarron had the better of exchanges in the early part of the game, but the first of many good saves, first from a Jose Da shot and a headed clearance off the line from a shot by Dani following a corner were the  nearest they came to scoring.

In the 21^st minute a long range effort bounced off the post with Ruben well beaten but he made a magnificent save from the follow up shot. However a throw in from the left in the 27th minute saw the ball bounce awkwardly over Ruben and onto the head of a Los Garres forward who scored the opening goal.

The second half started in similar fashion with Mazarron having some good efforts saved by the keeper. The first of these was when Pepsi was put through by Jose Da and the ball was eventually hacked away to safety.

A deserved equalizer came in the 54^th minute when excellent work by Jose Da on the left saw the ball passed to Edin on the right who cut in and crossed brilliantly for Jose to put the ball into an empty net.

Shortly after this a cross was headed down by Ahmed for Jose Da to hit the ball towards the top corner of the net but the Los Garres keeper brilliantly tipped the ball over the bar.

Chances continued to came at either end with Ruben making a good save and then Edin having a shot blocked by a defender. Mazarron were then denied what seemed a clear penalty when Ahmed was pushed inside the area.

One of the biggest cheers of the game was reserved for the referee who got in the way of a fiercely struck through ball with resultant damage to his unmentionables.

Despite a glaring open goal miss by Los Garres in the last minute Mazarron were well worth a draw and the youthful team continue to make progress.

Team: Ruben, Victor, Diego, Pollo, Dani, Martin (Pepsi), Matt Clarke, Ahmed, Edin (Jaguar), Jose Da, Jose (Fernando).
