The historical rivalry between the white-and-blue team and those of Montilivi became clear again yesterday in Vilatenim, but this time it was with the Girona branch of protagonist, that took the victory (0-3 ). After the undisputed record he achieved last season in Primera Catalana, Axel Vizuete’s team promises, and a lot, in his debut in the category. Also those of the Alt Empordà, who had arguments to deserve more and they hope to aspire to something more than permanence this course.
There was a desire for football. The Figueres stadium gathered more than 600 spectators with strict security measures, despite the restrictions of the Generalitat that did not affect the derby because in both Second B and Third it is the RFEF who has the last word. No one missed the match, nor the sporting director of Girona, Quique Cárcel, accompanied by Juan Carlos Moreno taking notes, to follow closely the footballers of the branch. The white-and-reds had the first possession, pressing the rival area and causing the first corner. Those of Javi Salamero would also play their cards, quickly balancing the balance. Pol Tarrenchs charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equalizer for fc, but the shot went well wide of the goal. Also Marc Medina, who saw how goalkeeper Morillas frustrated his shot.

Neither team found the goal. The clearest opportunity came in the 35th minute. After Kemo Cissé won the Figueres defense in speed, he assisted captain Ferran López to do the rest, leaving himself alone in front of Andrés, but incomprehensibly the ball crashed. al pal. Everyone put their hands on their heads. Girona had forgiven.
From here, Figueres was plugged in and caught the attention of the last minutes of the first half. Torres tried to surprise with a distant cocoa, which was lost rubbing the back. And before Medina had worked a ball, without finding anyone to finish it.
To the dam, the intensity and competitiveness worthy of a derby were maintained. Andrés took a Girona cross from the corner with his fists, while Salamero’s team immediately enjoyed opportunities. Between Morillas and the lack of success, the people of Figueres could not materialize. And this took its toll on them because this time Girona would not be left with their arms folded. The young Turmo opened the scoring in the 68th minute, Joel Priego scored the second goal and Àlex Pachón would decide with the third goal.
