VICTOR PENALTY SECURES THREE POINTSUD LAS PALMAS - 0 FC CARTAGENA - 1
BY STEVE HIBBERD
Ex Valladolid striker Victor Fernandez, made it 10 league goals for the season, when he coolly converted a 2nd half penalty, ultimately earning his side a precious win in the Canary Islands.
Having lost their last 2 league matches, it was important that Cartagena got their promotion drive back on track inside the Gran Canaria Stadium against mid table Las Palmas. This win maintained 3rd slot in div 2a, but with so many clubs breathing down their neck, a good run of victories is essential if La Liga is to become more than just a dream.
Top scorer Toche thought he has added to his tally on 17 mins, but his close range effort was rightly disallowed for offside. Midway through the half, superb defensive play prevented the home side taking the lead, when with Ruben off his line, Herrero was on hand to block a goal bound shot. On 41 mins, Ruben breathed a sigh of relief when a powerful 20 yard drive by Leon, just squeezed the wrong side of the post.
An off the ball foul on Mariano, resulted in Victor sending the keeper the wrong way from the resultant penalty on 47 mins. Leon was proving to be a real handful for Cartagena, finely illustrated when his long range free kick once again just missed the target. Near the end of the match, Las Palmas should have levelled the scores, but faced with only Ruben to beat, substitute Marquez shot horribly wide of the target.
FC Cartagena line-up
Ruben, Txiki, Mariano, Herrero, Signorino, Lafuente (Clavero), Balboa, Falcon (Gonzales), Exposito, Victor (Hector), Toche
Forthcoming Fixture
When Cartagena won 4-1 at Real Murcia last November, they announced to Spanish football that their promotion aspirations were for real. On Sunday 11 April ko 12pm (midday), at Cartagonova Stadium, part 2 of this epic local Murcian derby takes place. A sell out crowd of almost 15,000 baying fans, will be cheering on their team - an occasion not for the faint hearted!!
