NEXT HOME GAME (5 games to go)
TERCERA DIVISION GRUPO XIII - game 38
Scheduled for Sunday 28/04/2019
To be played at the ESTADIO MUNICIPAL DE MAZARRON ‘Pedro Mendez Mendez’
MAZARRON F.C. v REAL MURCIA C.F. SAD
Back at home and I hope that the weather will be better in Mazarrón than it was in Mula last weekend. Whilst the UK was basking in the Easter weekend sunshine over here in Spain it was torrential rain for the whole weekend.
Next weekend we welcome Real Murcia CF to the Estadio Municipal in Mazarrón for a game, which although will have little effect on promotion or relegation it should be a fiercely fought match with both sides hoping to finish as high as they can in the league and with Mazarrón trying to make up for some poor performances home and away recently to give their fans something to cheer.
LAST WEEKEND
Mazarrón FC were on their travels to Mula to play the local side Muleño. This was a game played in inclement weather on the holiday weekend. How ironic that here in southern Spain they were bailing out their underbuilds whilst in the UK it was ‘scorchio’
But the outcome of the game was the bright spot of the weekend with the final score of Muleño CF 0 v Mazarrón FC 1 brightening everyone’s Saturday up.
Meanwhile Real Murcia were at home facing Ciudad de Murcia, so a local derby with more than points to play for, bragging rites were up for grabs. The final score was a 2-2 draw, so honours equal? In a topsy turvy game both sides led before being pegged back.
REAL MURCIA CF SAD
Real Murcia CF SAD (also know as Real Murcia Imperial & Real Murcia ‘B’) have been ever-present in the Tercera Division for over 20 years - with the exception of 2008/09 and 2009/10 when they ascended to the heady heights of Segunda 'B'. They were then forced back to the Tercera as their first team was relegated from the Segunda that season and as you can’t have two teams from the same stable in the same league so down went our opponents to the Tercera and Real Murcia CF have been there ever since.
The financial problems affecting the first team must be having an effect on this 'B' team. Last season they finished in 16th place (out of 20) and this season they are now in 12th place (out of 22).
LAST TIME THAT WE PLAYED
REAL MURCIA "B" 2 MAZARRON FC 1
Mazarron's poor results against teams struggling towards the bottom of the table continued with a 2-1 defeat away to Real Murcia "B".
Already without Habib and Xavi through suspension and Boudia through injury, Manager Juanjo made two other surprise omissions from the starting line up leaving out central defender Nacho and hard-working midfield Andreo. This backfired spectacularly in a dreadful first half performance which saw Mazarron completely overrun in midfield and conceding two goals, one of which was an own goal from Nacho's replacement Alberto.
Murcia started the game on the front foot causing problems down their left wing and Mazarron's right flank where Mazarron were fielding two naturally left footed players, Gato and Chino. A free kick from the left evaded everyone at the near post and was gratefully headed out for a corner. Then another incisive break down the left saw the Mazarron defence scramble the resulting cross clear.
The first goal came inevitably from another left wing cross which Adrian Campoy looked favourite to deal with but Alberto rushed in front of him to slice the ball into his own net after 12 minutes. There was little sign of Mazarron as an attacking force until a long punt from Alberto found Basi racing clear on 20 minutes but he shot just over the bar.
A minute later Murcia had the ball in the net again after another left wing move but the effort was ruled out for offside. Mazarron suffered a spate of yellow cards as they tried in vain to stem the attacking ideas of the home team. Heredia and Salva Ballesta were being overrun in the centre of midfield and the presence of Andreo was sorely missed.
Zurdo came to the rescue with an excellent tackle as Murcia threatened to break down the middle and Mazarron were once again unable to string two passes together and content to clear long balls out of defence just to relieve pressure. In a brief two minute spell Jose Da and Diego provided two half chances for Basi, the first from which he shot just wide and the second which saw the home keeper dive at his feet to smother the shot.
However, it was Murcia who increased their lead five minutes before half time when the Mazarron defence only half cleared a free kick and the ball was played out to the left where Victor, looking suspiciously offside stroked the ball into the far corner
Surprisingly, Mazarron made no changes at the start of the second half but had Jose Da playing in a deeper midfield role. His free kick was headed wide by Alberto on 49 minutes. Two minutes later Nacho came on in place of Chino to strengthen the midfield. However, there was no immediate improvement as the visitors continued to hit long balls down the middle straight to an opposing player.
On one of the rare occasions when the long ball did find a Mazarron player, Basi controlled Gato's pass and, seeing the keeper off his line, tried to lob the ball over him but, unfortunately, the effort went straight into his grateful hands.
Pena made a good save on the hour when he tipped a header from a left wing cross over the bar before young striker Jaime came on to replace Gato as Mazarron at last signalled their intentions to push forward.
Jaime made an immediate impact when he cut inside and fed Diego whose 20 yard effort was well saved. Mazarron started to try to play the ball on the ground but kept giving it away, hardly able to pass more than 5 yards except to an opponent. On 73 minutes Pena raced off his line to thwart another Murcia attack.
Mazarron pulled a goal back out of the blue on 80 minutes when Salva Ballesta's corner found Basi at the far post and he sent a looping header into the net. This signalled a late effort from Mazarron as they threw men forward in search of an equaliser which they hardly deserved. Salva Ballesta's shot was saved at the near post and Jose Da produced a diving save from the Murcia keeper from Salva's corner.
However, the home team almost made it 3-1 in the last minute of time added on and were only foiled by an excellent diving save by Antonio Pena. It was a poor performance by Mazarron which saw them slip to eighth in the league and saw Real Murcia move out of the relegation places.

SANCTIONS AND SUSPENSIONS
