Bitter return of the Poio Pescamar to a reformed pavilion of A Seca in which it is still noticeable that touch-ups such as the video scoreboard are missing. The rival in this return of the rojillas of his exile was a tough nut to crack, Alcorcón, a team that has remained unbeaten since December. The madriñelas showed their good form as the players led by Luis López-Tulla, second in the table, could only draw against the potters.
The first part of the game was, as expected, very intense. A lot of battle but few clear chances. Although in the first ten minutes it was Poio Pescamar who was most looking for Estela’s door with some dangerous shot like Anna Escudero’s as soon as the match began. After 7 minutes of play, Luci’s goal came after a strategic play. The new European champion took advantage of Rocío’s free kick to beat Estela with a strong cross shot. The woman from A Coruña had been honored for the continental title at the beginning of the match.
Until that moment, Alcorcón had hardly caused problems for Elena, but little by little the rojillas allowed the potters to grow in the game and a one-on-one that Elena saved was the first serious warning from the visitors. Finally, it was the former player of Poio, Nere Moldes, who drilled the red goal and tied the game for Alcorcón, a result that reached the break.
The game changed radically at the restart. The locals came out determined to win the game and enjoyed very clear chances that always found an answer in the visiting goalkeeper Estela. Except for some isolated notice from AD Alcorcón, the duel became a siege by the canning group against the pottery goal, under which the figure of Estela was growing more and more with stops for all tastes. The stick also prevented Poio from taking the lead in a play that ended without luck for Dani Souza 14 minutes into the second half.
With five minutes to go, López-Tulla decided to burn the ships and go all out for a victory that would allow the rojillas to continue the hunt for the leader Navalcarnero and try to keep Burela away. He took Chiesa as goalkeeper-player to try to break down the visitor’s wall and they were about to achieve it when Estela made the save of the day after a point-blank shot from Anna. In the end, Poio was even about to miss the point that this tie gives them when, at an empty goal after a turnover, AD Alcorcón crashed a long shot against the base of the post.
