YELLOW PERIL MARCH ON
REAL UNION - 1 FC CARTAGENA - 1
BY STEVE HIBBERD

For the 3rd week running, Cartagena were shown live on tv - Gol tv being the latest station to feature them. A long trip to the northern Spanish town of Irun, necessitated an overnight trip for coach JIM and his team, looking to extend their unbeaten league run to 3 games. Sporting an all yellow strip, featuring Teatro Romano as the main shirt sponsor, Cartagena entered newly promoted Real Unions Gal Stadium for the very first time. JIM made 2 unenforced changes to last weeks squad - Hector & Sielva coming in for Longas & Lafuente.
Los Albinegros started the livelier of the 2 sides, and almost scored after 10 mins when a De Lucas shot was well saved. Four mins later they did take the lead, through a penalty by Victor (his 1st of the season), following a trip on Sielva inside the penalty area. A moment of indecision by Cygan, let in Goikoetxeo, who made no mistake when firing from fully 25 meters past Ruben, for his teams equalizer after 20 mins.
Little football was played for the remainder of the match, as the game degenerated into a uninteresting physical spectacle, in which Txiki and Victor, plus 3 Real Union players, picked up bookings.
Even though the season is only 3 games old, it was still nice to discover that results had gone Cartagenas way, meaning that they are now a point clear of Real Betis at the top of the league.

FC CARTAGENA LINE UP

RUBEN, TXIKI, PABLO, CYGAN, CLAVERO, DE LUCAS (LAFUENTE), MARIANO, HECTOR, SIELVA, VICTOR (FALCON), TOCHE (TATO)

FORTHCOMING FIXTURE

Make a date on Sat 19 Sep, ko 6pm, at Cartagonova Stadium, when Castellon are the visitors for Cartagenas next div 2a fixture. Castellon have made a poor start to the season, typified at the weekend when they lost 3-5 at home to Albacete, indicating that this should be an entertaining match.
