UNBEATEN RUN CONTINUESCD CASTELLON - 2 FC CARTAGENA - 2
BY STEVE HIBBERD
This hard earned point at lowly Castellon extended Cartagena's unbeaten run to 6 matches. They had to come from behind, conceding in the 21st min when a teasing left wing cross was powerfully headed into the net by Ulloa. Three mins later, the home side had doubled their lead. Although keeper Ruben managed to punch away a threatening cross, it landed perfectly for Mallecon to head home at the 1st bounce. From a corner, full back Txiki connected perfectly, hammering home a loose ball which reduced the deficit just before the break.
The 2nd half was fairly even, but it was that man De Lucas who salvaged a point for Los Albinegros, when his 10 yard angled shot rifled past a helpless Castellon keeper into the net on 77 mins. Castellon had 2 glorious chances to regain the lead, but the visitors hung on for grim death.
FC Cartagena line up
Ruben, Exposito, Txiki, Cygan, Clavero, Hector (Moreno), Longas (Balboa), De Lucas, Falcon, Lafuente (Tato), Toche
On Sun 28 Feb, ko 1200 (midday), 3rd place Cartagena play Spanish giants Real Betis at Cartagonova Stadium. Seville based Betis are expected to bring a large following for this div 2a match, which is predicted to be a sell out, so advance ticket purchase is advised.
