The derbies already have these things. There are nerves, tension, equality. Also proper names. Protagonists, on one side or the other. This time it was David Aroca’s turn. The spotlight, on him. If Girona B-Peralada played yesterday in Riudarenes ended in a draw, it was partly the goalkeeper’s responsibility. For his interventions, especially when in the 87th minute he stopped a penalty that could have left his team without a prize and, at the same time, catapulted the white-and-red branch to the top of the Catalan group of 3rd RFEF. None of this happened. Distribution of points and both sets that continue at the top of the table accompanied by Olot.
Strong emotions were reserved for the second half. At first, excessive respect. More defense than attack and the game, concentrated in the middle of the field. Occasions, very few. Lots of long balls or hanging in the areas and are goalkeepers who hardly had to intervene. Only Aroca, smarter than anyone, when he anticipated a Dawda who thought too much. The goals were concentrated in the second 45 minutes. The first one fell soon, just back from the locker room. Héctor Simón had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch – his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. Seva was centered towards the second post so that Llorenç Busquets appeared there, who scored the 0-1.
Within a minute of the resumption, everything had changed. Peralada was ahead, which had the opportunity, winning, to consolidate third place, just one point behind Girona B and two behind Olot, the leader. Seeing the scene, those of Vizuete went up a march and this allowed them to enjoy some dangerous arrival. Biel equalized, but his header was stopped by Aroca, who reappeared in the 70th minute in front of a shot, also with his head, in this case Richmon.
If Zayzoun’s entry had been decisive, three-quarters of it would have gone to Richmon, who scored while connecting a ball centered on a free kick. Girona B benefited from this, balancing the balance again with only five minutes to go before the deadline. But he could have even turned the score around, because Josu committed a penalty on Monju in 87 and saw the red card. The responsibility, for Gabri. The prominence, again for David Aroca, who guessed his intentions and kept the tables. At the discount, the tie did not move but Peralada would suffer another expulsion to close the derby with nine men on the grass. Alan Baró was in charge of receiving it this time.
Three people from Girona at the head
After the first round, and now with a few days off to disconnect and charge batteries, the Catalan group of 3rd RFEF speaks with a Girona accent because the top three are from the demarcation. Olot is the leader with the same 31 points as Girona B. Had they won yesterday, the subsidiary would have climbed to first place alone. He is now second. One step below is Peralada, which has 27 games and one game less, which will have to play against Manresa. Figueres, on the other hand, is twelfth with 17 points, close to the relegation places.
