MAZARRON F.C. v C.F. MOLINA-GRUAS LA VARIANTE

250 spectators apparently.  Can't see them.  Must all be in the stand.

MAZARRON FC 0 CF MOLINA 0

Mazarron made the early running and in the third minute Jimmy's cross from the left was dropped by the Molina keeper but Cesar could only hoot into the side netting from the rebound.. Two minutes later Boudia's shot from 25 yards was only parried to Jimmy who shot just over the bar.

Molina came more into the game and former Mazarron striker Jose had a couple of half chances before the visitors missed a great chance to take the lead after 20 minutes. An excellent cross from the left was somehow headed wide by Galo from almost on the goal line.

On 27 minutes a through ball by Raul Torrano was well controlled by Jimmy who swivelled and hit a right foot shot against the post and out for a goal kick. At the other end Mazarron keeper Pablo dropped a right wing corner but the defenders managed to clear the ball after a goalmouth scramble. Both teams continued to attack in search of an opening goal but the interval arrived with the score at 0-0.

Mazarron thought they should have had a penalty five minutes into the second half when Cesar appeared to be dragged to the ground but the referee waved play on. A minute later Javier headed over the bar for Molina and then a Mazarron breakaway saw Ruben try a speculative shot from 25 yards with Raul Jimmy and Cesar better placed to receive a pass.

On 57 minutes an excellent pass by Ruben saw Cesar cutting in from the left but his shot was saved by the Molina keeper. Mazarron came close to breaking the deadlock on 65 minutes when a long cross from the half way line was headed down by Raul and Cesar's shot was deflected onto the bar before being headed clear for a corner.

Despite creating a number of chances it was 87 minutes before Molina were able to force Pablo into making a save and he was more than equal to it diving superbly to his left. Then in injury time a miskick by Raso saw a grateful Pablo drop on to the ball under pressure from the Molina attack.

It was an entertaining game on a pleasant balmy evening and, on the balance of play, a draw was a fair result.

Team: Pablo; Raul Torrano; Raso; Juan Andreo; Marcos; Boudia; Ruben (Mariano); Koko; Cesar (Steven); Raul; Jimmy.
