The Grana team achieves an important victory at the Estadi Espiñedo thanks to a goal from Marc Fernández at the beginning of the second half and is once again the provisional leader of Group 1 of the first FEF
Gimnàstic redeems itself from the surprising and bitter fall of the previous day against Teruel (0-2) and beats Arenteiro (0-1), a sensational team and one of the strongest as a local group 1, thanks to a goal by Marc Fernández at the beginning of the second half of a match played on a pitch impassable due to rain and the poor condition of the green.
The Grana team could not break the scoreboard in the first half, but it was not for lack of opportunities. The visitors have had three, all of them with Godoy as the main actor.
The Canary forward was unable to beat Diego García with the outside of his foot after receiving a pass from Marc Fernández (16′) and, in the final stretch, he had a double chance. Mula enabled the player on loan from Alavés, but his shot went a few centimeters off the post (40′). Then, Marc Fernández forced a mistake from the local goalkeeper and the rebound fell to Godoy again, who shot into an empty net, but Javi Moreno stopped the ball with his head as it entered the goal (41′ ).
El Nàstic goes ahead with a strategy move and holds the type
The players from Tarragona took the lead after the break and did so, as usual this season, in a strategic action executed by Mula. Óscar Sanz extended the play with a header and Marc Fernández, well placed, did not miss from the small area (0-1, 50′).
The first clear opportunity for the Galicians came from the hands of Pibe, who attempted a strong shot from an oblique position that forced Varo to intervene with his fists (73′).
Minutes later, the home team made the home team suffer with a corner kick at the far post that was headed in by Novoa and Borja Martínez headed it away (89′). The coach of the Catalan team, Dani Vidal, was sent off in the last minute of the game.
Nastic is once again the provisional leader and awaits Deportivo
The victory allows the fifth matchday to be chained together without losing away from home, where Gimnastic has 13 points from the last 15 in dispute. The defeat of Ponferradina at the Fuenlabrada field (2-1) allows the Tarragona team to momentarily regain the lead. Nastic needs Deportivo not to win tomorrow against Lugo in Riazor (7pm) to finish matchday 26 as first.
