Cartagena sinks a little more to Alcorcón

Alcorcón and Cartagena tied in Santo Domingo a duel that the Murcian team would do well to continue moving away from a decline in which the Madrid team is still sunk, which, although it started winning, did not know how to maintain its advantage and each week sees salvation further .

With the rope around their neck after ten games without winning and sunk in the standings, Alcorcón took this match as a true final to all or nothing, knowing that a new stumble against a theoretical direct rival for permanence would leave them in a still situation more critical.

Aware that his weak point is being defense, with 38 goals conceded in 19 games, Fran Fernández tried a new scheme with five players behind to gain safety. The bet went well from the beginning to the Almeria coach because his team was more solid behind than other times, although again a lack of concentration penalized him.

Even so, a defensive error by Cartagena in the 17th minute allowed Alcorcón to take the lead. It was with an own goal from Pablo Vázquez, who failed to clear a shot from Marc Gual, who had previously recovered a ball after the failure of a visiting defender.

The same protagonist, Marc Gual, was about to score after the second for Alcorcón after a cross from Laure that he controlled at the far post and his shot went brushing the post.

When it seemed better that Alcorcón was, Cartagena equaled the contest. He did it after a counterattack that ended with a loose ball in the area that Cayarga, very attentive, scored only against Dani Jiménez.

The goal did a lot of damage to Alcorcón because all the good they had been doing up to that moment was diluted, a circumstance that the Murcian team took advantage of to gain meters on the local goal although with little depth, accepting the added point.

With the draw, Alcorcón remains bottom with ten points, ten from salvation, and Cartagena remains with 27 to eight from relegation.
