EMF FUENTE ALAMO 1 MAZARRON FC 2 Mazarron’s season got off to a flying start with a 2-1 away victory at local rivals EMF Fuente Alamo. On a hard, sandy playing surface, it was never going to be an attractive game to watch but Mazarron produced a hard-working performance and deservedly took the three points. Mazarron started the game brightly with newcomers Tico and Moha impressive in midfield but chances were hard to come by on the difficult surface. Alcaraz headed an Alfonso corner over the bar and Juanillo hit a rasping drive from 15 yards that was turned away by the Fuente keeper. Then Cecilio made a surging run forward but his shot from 25 yards was again well saved. Fuente Alamo had shown little up front but took the lead after 30 minutes when they were awarded a penalty following a handball in the Mazarron box. Garcia sent Ruben the wrong way with the spot kick to give the home team an undeserved lead at half time. Victor replaced Juanillo at the interval allowing Alfonso to push forward in a more attacking role and Mazarron equalised after 54 minutes. Moha made a surging run down the right and, despite being clearly fouled, managed to put in an excellent cross which was expertly turned home at the near post by last year’s leading marksman, Jose Ruben. Mazarron were in total control of the game and took the lead after 62 minutes when Alfonso’s right wing cross struck a Fuente defender on the arm and the referee had no hesitation in awarding a penalty. Alfonso himself took the kick and blasted the ball into the roof of the net. It could have been 3-1 after 74 minutes after excellent work by Pescao and Cecilio saw Tico hitting a powerful drive which was just turned over the crossbar by the Fuente keeper. Ruben in the Mazarron goal had a fairly quiet game but dealt well with some difficult crosses and made a good save from a rare Fuente breakaway in the latter stages. A rare mistake by Alcaraz in the dying minutes almost let in a Fuente striker but he blazed his shot well over the crossbar with only Ruben to beat. Overall it was an excellent display by Mazaron which augurs well for the rest of the season. Team: Ruben, Alfonso, Dani, Juan Andreu, Alcaraz, Tico (Chema), Moha, Juanillo (Victor), Pescao, Jose Ruben, Cecilio (Adrian). Man of the Match: Tico
