Cantoria 2017 got an important and comforting victory this Sunday at noon at the Campo Municipal Los Olivos against Poli Almeria, in one of the provincial derbies of Group 2 of the Andalusian Division of Honor.
Poli arrived undefeated with 9 points, while the home team needed a victory after suffering two consecutive defeats in three rounds.
The visitors took the lead in a play where Ale and Joaquín fought for a ball that seemed to get lost on the back line. But the ball hit the corner flag and didn’t go in. The Poli striker put the cross back for Moussa to beat Alberto. A lapse of concentration and bad luck punished the black-and-white team.
But if the local played one of the best games so far this season, Abdou stood out for his commitment and physical deployment to bring danger to the goal defended by Manu. The Cantorian striker pushed so hard that he was rewarded; it was the 29th minute of the first half and he hit a cross volley that hit the right post of the visitor’s goal and went in. It was a great goal and the more than 400 fans who gathered at Los Olivos began to believe.
In the 32nd Joaquín, from outside the box, broke the goalkeeper’s hands. In ’40, Campanas smashed it against the post of the goal defended by Alberto. 1 to 1 partial and to play the second half.
In the restart Cantoria turned on the goal defended by Mano. Abdou continued overflowing and creating danger. What the team coached by Ricardo Mora has to solve, is to whom he throws the crosses, his center forward of reference every time he overflows and they are working on it.
That is why the expected entry of Capel could offer solutions. He is a man who attacks the space and has a goal. The player from Cóbdar had a chance in a one-on-one that the goalkeeper won. In the second opportunity, Capel sent it to the back of the net. It was the 43rd minute and the stadium was a cauldron.
2 to 1 final and victory for Cantoria 2017, which is in seventh position, four points behind the leader, CD Rincón.
