Numancia and Los Pajaritos beat Yeclano with a score of 2:1, and everything will be decided in Constitución – CD Numancia

CD Numancia beat Yeclano Deportivo 2-1 in the first leg of the play-off final to qualify for Primera RFEF. The Sorianos took a narrow victory and will have to defend that lead over eight days in Constitución de Yecla. With Los Pajaritos packed and a luxurious atmosphere in the stands – the fans were again strong – Numancia started the game brilliantly thanks to the support of their team.

In fact, without detracting from the controversy of Carlos Gonzalez and the goal of David Alfonso, who was ready and watching the game because he saw what could happen, the first goal was scored by the stands when only two minutes had passed in the game. Carlos Gonzalez squeezed between the center backs and fought for an almost impossible ball, and the visiting goalkeeper also intervened, allowing a rebound that fell to the smartest in the class, David Alfonso, who was watching the game for what might have happened and passed the ball. so all he had to do was throw the ball into the net before the delirium of the more than 7,000 numantinos who inhabited Los Pajaritos.

The start of Numancia and the enthusiasm of the stands were stunning for Yeclano, who, despite the initial struggle, regained their composure and little by little showed themselves to be a competitive team, energetic in all disputes, physically strong and judicious when it came time for them to circulate the ball.

Against all odds, Numancia remained focused, calm and keen on the game against the visitors, well-equipped in defense and threatening in transition.

A long ball caught by Alain Ribeiro in Yeclano’s penalty area gave Numancia a 2-0 lead just half an hour into the game. The Numantino midfielder made an excellent shot, broke away from his partner and hit the ball before Zarco came out, which is impossible for the opposing goalkeeper. A great goal that brought euphoria to the stands of Los Pajaritos, inspiring their players like never before, realizing the importance of the task.

The second red goal opened up a lot of unknowns in the first match: there were a lot of long passes into space and a lot of underground play as soon as any opponent tried this combination. Sorianos’ 3-0 scoreline would have been an outsized lead, while the 2-1 scoreline kept any anticipation alive for the return leg in Yecla, and strategic play allowed Yeclano to come into the game, close the gap and keep the tie alive. stable balance.

Serpeta saved a side foul well and his header hit the net, but Dorronsoro could do nothing to prevent it. 2-1, and again the swords were high, with tension on the grass and also in the stands, who were grateful for the break.

The second half promised the same emotions, even more, but everything changed in the 59th minute of the game. Tangana in the Numantina area had everyone on edge and just when the waters seemed to be returning to normal, Diego Royo got into a tangle with an opponent just two meters from the referee and saw a straight red card.

With half an hour left in the game, Numancia was left behind and Javi Moreno had to make do without Alain Ribeiro to bring Nacho Pastor into the center of the exposed red defense after Diego Royo was sent off.

Yeclano began to dominate the ball, and Numancia made an effort to try to maintain the existing result and, if possible, cause damage on the counter-attack. Lupu entered the field to fight the Murcian defense and everyone had to roll up their sleeves to run, sacrifice and fight so that Dorronsoro would not have more problems than those that already arise when playing on the concession.

Yeclano began to attack the penalty area with lateral crosses that were well defended by Rojillo, and despite the uncertainty of the minimum score, Soriano had the clearest chance in those second forty-five minutes. Soler’s action on the right flank ended with a cross to the far post, headed by Ruben Sanchidrian, and A. Zarco saved the match to avoid Sorianso with a 3-1 score and make the return to La Constitución a reality. an epic between two teams who want to compete in Primera RFEF next year.
