Mazarron’s
improved performances continued with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at home to
Thader Murcia. On a playing surface which had benefited from fewer games being
played in recent weeks and a heavy downpour shortly before kick off, Mazarron
created most of the chances in the first half.
A fierce
Diego header from a corner was well saved by the visiting goalkeeper and a shot
from Pepsi, after he had cut in from the left wing, went into the side netting.
However, in the 35th minute Mazarron’s juvenile striker, Jose ran,
onto a through ball and beat the entire defence before calmly slotting the ball
into the net to score for the second week running.
Mazarron
continued to attack and Edin had a shot saved but the resulting corner came to
nothing. Then Jose again ran on to a through ball but the Thader keeper came out
of his area to clear.
In the
second half Mazarron seemed to lose all their composure and Thader came more
into the game. Edin, back in defence to help deal with a Thader corner sliced
his clearance high into the air causing Mazarron keeper, Ruben to flap at the
ball before it was finally cleared. Then Diego’s misdirected header was played
towards his own goal by Pollo but fortunately, this comedy of errors came to
nothing.
Mazarron should
have increased their lead when, with Jose and Edin better placed, Pescau blazed
well wide, but in the 75th minute the same player was unlucky not to
score with a fierce left foot volley which just cleared the bar.
Despite more
Thader pressure in the closing minutes, Mazarron held on to register only their
fourth victory of the season.
Team: Ruben, Alfonso, Pollo, Diego, Ahmed, Dani, Matt
Clarke, Jose Da (Guillermo), Jose, Edin, Pepsi (Pescau).
Man of the
Match: Jose.
