EMPATE SIN GOLESFC CARTAGENA - 0 CORDOBA CF - 0
BY STEVE HIBBERD
Although Cartagena had the lions share of this div 2a match against mid table Cordoba, it was a combination of too many basic errors and terrible finishing that contrived to make it a goalless draw. The 1st half belonged entirely to the home side. Leading goalscorer Toche produced the half's highlights, first on 15 min's when his long range shot sailed over the bar, then on the half hour mark when from close range he hit the side netting.It was a different story in the 2nd half. Twice within 6 min's either side of the hour mark, Cartagena keeper Ruben produced first class saves to thwart Cordobas efforts at goal. Ruben came to the rescue again on 78 min's with a superb block from a goal bound shot. Frustration got the better of Cordobas manager towards the end, when his comments towards the match officials were punished by him being sent to the stands. With only 3 min's remaining, sub Quintero almost won the match for Cartagena, but his shot from the edge of the box was just too high to trouble the keeper. This point was enough for Cartagena to remain in 3rd position, 1 point ahead of 4th place Numancia.
