El Cartagena pierde terreno. By Steve.

CARTAGENA LOSE MORE GROUND
FC CARTAGENA - 1 REAL SOCIADAD - 1
BY STEVE HIBBERD

Playing against 10 men for nearly half the match, Cartagena should really have capitalized against table topping Real Sociadad. But unfortunately, these 2 dropped points have left Los Albinegros with it all to do, if they want to make the huge step up to La Liga football next season. They now lie joint 3rd, with Levante, on 55 points, a point behind 2nd place Hercules. Neither side played with any real commitment - the 1st half in particular littered with unforced errors. The game was scrappy, failing to flow for prolonged periods. Real Sociadad opened the scoring after only 4 mins, through a superb 20 yard blockbuster by Aranburu, which brushed the outstretched fingers of Ruben, before nestling in the back of the net. It took only 13 mins for the home side to equalize. A well taken in swinging corner was back headed by Victor, perfectly into the path of Herrero at the far post, who side footed home his 1st goal of the season. Just before the interval, De Lucas blasted a long range free kick just wide of the post.

Toche gasped in disbelief as his fiercely struck drive was blocked on the line, as Cartagena started the new half brightly. When Aranburu received a 2nd yellow card for a trip on De Lucas, Cartagena should really have made numerical advantage count, but they failed to exert any real pressure. On the stroke of full time, Cartagena might have been awarded a penalty for a push on Toche, but the match officials decided otherwise.
