5-0: UD Almeria Women thrashed away from home
The Rojiblancas were outplayed by direct rivals CP Cacereño Women ‘B’ and missed the great opportunity to extend their advantage
Tough defeat for UD Almería Women in their visit to direct rivals CP Cacereño Women ‘B’. The Rojiblancas were thrashed by effective hosts who were 3-0 up at the break and extended their lead in the second half until the final 5-0, which means that the Indálicas missed a great opportunity to increase their advantage in third place.
With a considerable number of unavailable head coach players, Álvaro García Búrdalo picked out a starting XI with Carmen Belmonte; Lucia, Mati, Esther, Mireya, Anita Paris, Ana Carrascosa, Jessi, Paqui, Sarita and Fatima in contention.
After the halfway point of the opening forty-five minutes, UD Almeria Women suffered the high effectiveness of the Cacereño ’B’ team, who beat goalie Carmen in the 23rd, 30th and 34th minutes so that the scoreboard recorded 3-0 by half-time. To make matters worse, Mati was forced off after receiving a strong blow on her face.
Far from improving the scenario with the arrival of the second period, the game became even more difficult for the visitors, who wanted to take one step further to pull off the heroic, Marta Paz entering the field shortly after the restart, but what would they see that Katsuki staged a sensational solo play, taking advantage of a recovery by her team to make it 4-0 within 55 minutes.
Despite the fact that everything was going downhill. The Cacereño ‘B’ girls, who were on fire,were awarded a penalty that was blocked by Indalica goalie Carmen Belmonte. However, the goalkeeper could not do anything when the home team gals slotted home the fifth 71 minutes in (5-0).
To cut a long story short, UD Almeria Women were outplayed in a tough encounter away from home, which means that remaining third becomes much more difficult as Carreño Women ‘B’ are only one point behind the Rojiblancas with a game in hand. As far as the gap with the second spot is concerned, which means moving up a tier through automatic promotion, everything will depend on the result given between the contenders from the Badajoz and Cádiz sides.
