Fuenlabrada surprises and torpedoes the rise of Cádiz

It could not be. Fuenlabrada watered down the ascent of Cádiz with an official victory that makes him sleep in playoff positions. Hugo Fraile, from the penalty spot, scored the only goal of the match that allows Sandoval's to continue dreaming of high levels, while those of Cervera will have to wait to celebrate a possible promotion. This could arrive tomorrow if Zaragoza does not beat Oviedo.

Fuenlabrada started the game with clear ideas. Locked in behind, with a line of five defenders and waiting for his chance. A football that does not benefit Cádiz at all, who prefers to give the ball to the rival. Still, the yellows started out eager to know that a draw made them move up to Primera. Based on long possessions, those of Cervera gradually closed the goal of Femenías. First with a good shot from Cala, with the head, after a corner, in which the goal had to jump to block it. Then, with a free kick from Iza, quite far, who left skimming the crossbar. There were no more during the first part. Much sense of danger from the locals, but little success in the final auction.

The script changed dramatically in the second half. As soon as it begins, a penalty from Cala per hand. Clear penalty. The lebrian did his best to pull his arm away, but it wasn't enough. Hugo Fraile, infallible in this facet, did not forgive from the eleven meters. Jug of cold water for a Cádiz that started the second part speculating with the result. Three minutes later, a new penalty, this time from Álvaro to Juanma. New jug of cold water for the locals, however the VAR entered to cancel it for offside. Cadiz breathed.

Saving yourself from a second penalty could have been like celebrating a half goal, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Cadiz continued without recovering. Not even in their worst nightmares did they think of a defeat against a Fuenlabrada that wanted more. In the 56 ', Nteka, who is marking a real season, made the individual move on the left wing and assisted Hugo Fraile on the other wing, but he wasted the option of sentencing.

All the danger that Fuenlabrada did not find in the first part, he found in the second. The minutes followed one another and the people of Madrid continued with their script. In three touches they were planted in the rival goal and always in danger against a frightened local team. Cifuentes held the danger, maintaining the hope of a possible goal that would give rise to the yellows.

There was no hint of improvement on the local side until the final minutes. When Cervera's men came out on the attack, they went with more heart than head and neglected the rear. Nothing mattered anymore, just the tie. Nano had it, in the 94th minute, with a header from the corner from a corner taken by Nteka on the same line. Cala returned to have the tie a minute later, with a shot at the half turn after a rejection. Femenías stopped, on the floor, with a masterful intervention. Cádiz was trying, but late. It was not the day.

The result did not change and did justice to what was seen on the field. Fuenlabrada, the revelation of this season, continues with real options to play the playoff; while Cádiz must wait to celebrate the promotion. No one said it was going to be easy.
