FINAL AWAY GAME OF THE SEASON
TERCERA DIVISION GRUPO XIII - game 41
Scheduled for Sunday 12/05/2019
To be played at the ESTADIO FRANCISCO ARTES CARRASCO
C.F. LORCA DEPORTIVA v MAZARRON F.C.
Let’s have no doubts about it, it doesn’t come much tougher than an away game against one of the big fishes in our league, a team destined for the end of season playoffs who play in surrounding suitable for a ‘La Liga’ side, so it’s three points for Mazarrón then?
LAST WEEKEND
Mazarrón FC were at home facing FC Cartagena ‘B’ and their abject apology of a first half performance deserved them going in at the break 0-4 down. It wasn’t until the introduction of Andreo and Jaime in the second period before the side got going and Mazarrón were unfortunate not to pull a couple of goals back but they didn’t and a humiliating defeat yet again at home was the end result.
Our opponents were away at Ciudad De Murcia and they trounced them 0-3. Tin hats required for next weekend?
WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME WE MET?
A bad result caused by an assault on Peña without an adequate replacement on the bench.
MAZARRON FC 2 - CF LORCA DEPORTIVA 5 (23.12.2018)
A first half injury to Mazarron's outstanding goalkeeper Antonio Pena turned this game around as they continued their downward spiral in the league.
Pena made a good save to collect a right wing cross shot in the sixth minute and at the other end a free kick by Salva Ballesta was headed into the Lorca keeper's hands by Nacho as both sides strove for early supremacy. The home team took the lead in the 18th minute when Basi latched on to an excellent pass down the right wing, cut inside and cleverly chipped the ball over the onrushing keeper into the back of the net.
It was an even game at this stage with few chances but Lorca had a header from a right wing cross well over the bar on 31 minutes. Pena was injured on 37 minutes when he bravely dived at the feet of Lorca's Ali Diakite to save at point blank range and received a kick on the head for his pains. He was treated on the field for several minutes and recovered sufficiently to walk assisted off the pitch before being replaced by Juvenile goalkeeper David. Ali Diakite received only a yellow card for this violent challenge. If the referee saw it as a foul, which he did, he should have sent him off.
Mazarron's defence managed to protect the young keeper and their 1-0 lead for the remaining few minutes before half time.
The referee Ignacio Alcaraz Bernal was doing his best to ruin what had been a decent game. He blew for free kicks very time a Mazarron player challenged for the ball, yet allowed worse challenges from Lorca players to go unpunished. Mazarron came out with the intention of trying to defend their narrow lead and young David saved a shot from outside the area at the second attempt in the 51st minute. It was all Lorca now as Mazarron got as many men as possible behind the ball.
The inevitable equaliser came after 65 minutes when Adrian struck a left foot shot from the edge of the box into the corner of the net giving David no chance. On 71 minutes a right wing free kick found Mansour unmarked and he turned the ball past David from close range.
A minute later David punched away a dangerous cross and he then made a diving save to keep out another shot from just outside the penalty area. However. Lorca increased their lead in fortuitous fashion after 76 minutes when Gato's clearance rebounded off Adrian into the net.
Two minutes later, in a rare attack, excellent work by Diego down the left saw his cross headed firmly into the roof of the net by substitute Boudia to give Mazarron some hope. Unfortunately, Josema was sent off after 84 minutes after receiving a second yellow card and two more Lorca goals followed in the 87th and 89th minutes from Andres and Mansour to complete a miserable day for Mazarron.
Five other Mazarron players were booked but only one from Lorca. The referee's performance was diabolical.
Once again Mazarron's tactics were questionable. With strikers Habib and new signing Borja on the substitutes bench, midfielder Jose Da was assigned a central striking role with Mazarron's best striker Basi once again exiled to the right wing.
In addition the short sightedness of having only one experienced goalkeeper on the books finally caught up with Mazarron. Since Cristobal left the Club just six games into the season, he has not been replaced and Mazarron have used juvenile goalkeepers on the bench for every game since then. Hopefully Antonio Pena will have sufficient time to recover over the Christmas break but another goalkeeper must be a priority. It was sad to see young David leave the field in tears, he did his best and should not have been placed in that situation.
One point from the last four games should be a massive wake up call. A team challenging for promotion a few weeks ago is now looking over its shoulders at the relegation places, just nine points away.
CF LORCA DEPORTIVA
Our opponents suffered relegation from the third tier, Segunda ‘B’ of the Spanish league finishing 20th and with much publicised financial problems both on and off the field they have done extremely well to turn all their traumas around and have maintained their place at the top end of our league and are looking for a quick return to the division from whence they came which is on course.
Lorca play in the ESTADIO FRANCISCO ARTES CARRASCO which has to be in the top one or two stadiums in Murcia. It boasts all the modern facilities that you would expect in this first class arena a should be a great day out with both sides safe in their positions, Mazarrón FC confirming their place in the Tercera for next season and Lorca assured of their playoff place.
The distance to the ground from Camposol is 48KM but should only take 30 minutes as it’s motorway all the way. From Camposol take the dual carriageway to the A7 at Totana and travel towards Lorca. After going through the tunnel under Lorca castle the second turnoff is signed for the local hospital and the stadium is on your right. If you can’t see it go back to the hospital and have your eyes retested. The coordinates for the ground are 37° 38' 20" N, 01° 44' 06" W
Lorca play in blue a white striped shirts so we should be in red.
