Peralada continues to resist that victory that would allow him to rejoin the leading positions in the standings. With yesterday’s draw (1-1) against San Cristóbal in a duel where Casanova tied the score and Josu was sent off with a direct red card with ten minutes to go, Héctor Simón’s men have four games without to know the victory; and what is worse: they are seven points away from the leadership occupied by Olot.
Yesterday, Peralada arrived at a game that was urgent to get the three points to break a bad dynamic of three days without winning. From the very beginning, coming out victorious became a difficult task to achieve. Héctor Simón had to work hard to establish a competitive eleven due to the many casualties he had. In fact, even Juvi, the brand new signing from the Costa Brava, came out on top to contribute his grain of sand. Peralada had a hard time getting into the game. For the first forty-five minutes, the goal-scoring counter was empty, while San Cristóbal warned in the eleventh minute through a counter led by Tom that ended with a shot too cross. On the second occasion that Barcelona had, who dominated the first half, they were able to advance on the scoreboard at the exit of a corner service. Max Llovera coolly slotted it home for a 1 – 0 lead. In the second half, and with the battery of changes, Peralada improved in offensive tasks to the point that Casanova scored the equalizer taking advantage of a convoluted play initiated by the fast end Youssef. The pitcher took advantage of a rejection between a defender and the rival goalkeeper to put the 1-1 final of a match where Peralada would play ten minutes with a man less due to the expulsion of captain Josu by direct red. With this, the locals add four days without winning and break away from the fight for leadership.
