Eves of much, days of nothing… again and too many of them with Hercules

ALICANTE. Another retaliatory strike from Hercules rife with serious defensive errors, and there are too many of them. Team Ruben Torrecilla relinquishes the lead for the fourth time this year a week after taking it, this time falling into Rico Perez Stadium With Pena Independentset reaching Alicante as a vice-player, and this Sunday he won (the fourth he has achieved in 23 games) by two goals to three (he has scored 17 goals in the main phase so far).

It is true that the blue and white team suffered due to a serious refereeing error that deprived ‘Samu’ Vasquez increase their scoring rate, but by this point in the first half they were already losing by one goal to nil, thanks to a goal from a Torrevieja player. Lucas Gonzalezin a set-piece match that Torrecilla’s team defended poorly. Javi Morenothe best of Hercules, managed to score a great goal early in the second half and would do it again in the 78th minute when Pena Independent from Mario Ormaechea again took the lead on the scoreboard, taking advantage jaw another gift behind the blue and white, but the Ibizans scored the third goal in the count Vincent in stoppage time (which was 13 minutes), playing with a numerical advantage and after another concession to the Hercules defence.

Javi Moreno for Roger Colomina as the only new member of the eleven

With a team built around 1-4-2-3-1 in which Mangada And Miguel Marie They formed a pair of midfielders Javi Moreno (with ‘Samu’ Vasquez

doubling it in the attack phase), From Nava And ‘Niko’ Espinosa (from right to left) three midfielders and Mendez was the standard, Hercules started a tournament in which a priori it was worth even a defeat to continue to lead the table as long as his direct rivals lost… but when not even the 10th minute of the fight with Penia was completed, this was no longer the case longer Thus, thanks to the results that were already reaped at that time Europe and especially, Lleida. And not to mention a quarter of an hour into the game when things took a turn for the worse with the aforementioned Lucas Gonzalez goal from a throw-in poorly defended by the blue and white.

It was Hercules’ turn (again) to gather his strength, which at times seemed to be what he was doing, coming very close to linking up a very good game from “Nico” Espinosa with Javi Moreno, in which the blue-and-white playmaker forced goalkeeper Pena Dany Gizeris work hard to avoid a goal. Now the chapter of chances before the break for Torrecilla’s team began and ended almost there, namely, if you don’t count the goal (roughly) disallowed for “Sam” Vazquez due to offside (the referee’s decision raised a lot of doubts live, but can be seen on television … the one who was in an illegal position during the pass was in any case Mendes and not the right-back of Hercules, but with the man from Ilerda it was not so Joan Masip Vidal and his assistant) and several attempts from De la Nava, the blue and white did not give the impression that they could neutralize Pena’s advantage on the scoreboard.

And this is despite the fact that Ormaechea’s team finally began to lose ground in the final stretch of the first act, which, without the ball, started the event much more tense than the blue and white, and despite the expected protection of three center-backs, with them being accompanied rather by wingers than the flanks, and do not give up, looking at the gate of Carlos Abad with Lucas and Borja Jimenez very active.

Roger Colomina comes on and Javi Moreno draws for the first time.

Roger Colominawho watched the start of the match from the bench in favor of Javi Moreno (in relation to the team with which Torrecilla decided to start the match in Andratx), was chosen by coach Plaza to replace Marie in the eleven (who had been reprimanded with a yellow card in the first act), taking advantage of the time spent in the dressing room.

Sabadellense’s struggles in the engine room soon gave it another twist, although the real boost to the blue-and-whites’ bid was a 52nd-minute goal from Moreno, who cleared the cobwebs with a left-footed shot from the edge of the area. detachment to the right of the gate of Gizeris.

Jaime Isuardi begins to soften the more than nascent party

More than 7,200 spectators who answered the call of football believed more than ever in a comeback… but Penya Independent thwarted the more than nascent party with the backlash caused by the loss of Mangada, who created Isuardi and Javed closed the scoring by beating Abad head-to-head.

Retu and Cossia Candles and De la Nava respectively were the protagonists of Torrecilla’s second round of changes, when his team began to play with two strikers, but from time to time the transfer of the bet took time… to the extent that the next shot of the blue and white between the opponents’ three goal posts It was Javi Moreno’s second goal: with a phenomenal pass back into the penalty area, Colomina connected with the native of Almeria, who equalized the score for the second time with a penalty kick.

There was a time… but to accept the seventh defeat

There was still a quarter of an hour left before the goal, and it was followed by a goal Ketu for Mangada and that Pena was left with one man less due to the serious injury of Isuardi (he left the field on a stretcher, having injured one shoulder), after exhausting his five substitutions. The latter caused a brawl between both benches (Hercules did not clear the ball in a scuffle in which the away player was injured) and a whopping 11 minutes were added to the clash. Extra time for ‘Alvarito’ replaced “Nico” Espinosa, and in which Penya Independent not only defended like a cat on its belly, but also managed to score the third goal thanks to Vicente after another mistake in the Hercules defense (this time due to the defeat of Retuerta when releasing the ball). ).
