Comarca del Mármol managed to pick up three valuable points this Sunday at the Ciudad Deportiva Vícar Stadium, with an agonising goal from Manolo in the last minute of stoppage time. The match corresponds to the tenth round of the Segunda Andaluza Almería Senior League.
A difficult match for the visitors after Damián, just after the start of the game, had to be evacuated by ambulance after a fortuitous head to head collision with a Vícar player which left him unconscious on the pitch.
Once the game resumed, it was the home side who were to have their best chances of the game. The Comarca players were slow to assimilate the injury to Damián, but the team continued to fight and eventually got into the game, beginning to control the game and being able to open the scoring, in a very evenly matched game where they went in level at half time.
The second half began with the local team imposing greater dominance on the pitch, enclosing Vicar in their own half for a good part of the second half. In this way, Comarca were able to enjoy clear chances but without success while the locals tried to do damage on the counter-attack.
The goal was not forthcoming and the Marmolistas called for two possible penalties for handball inside the area. The team kept going for the game and in the final whistle they got their reward. This time it was a penalty for a handball inside the area after a header by Manzano that Manolo converted into a goal. It was the 95th minute and it was to be the winning goal for the Almanzora side.
The Comarca del Mármol (17 points) were satisfied with a very difficult match, with the peace of mind of knowing that their left back was already feeling better.
After ten games the team remains in the promotion places in second position after this victory against a direct rival, and is already thinking about their next game, this time at home against first-placed Roquetas de Mar (21 points).
Coach Miguel Compán will have some notable absentees, as in addition to Damián, Garrido and Jorge Salinas are doubtful after being substituted through injury. The team will be counting on the support of the fans in one of the most important games of the season.
