Incidents
Municipal Stadium La Albuera
Thinking about next Saturday’s league game against Atlético de Madrid, Luis García had an eleven with many unusual players, but in which the presence of Fer Niño and Abdón Prats offered, in principle, good offensive solutions.
But the reality was very different for Mallorca, because on very few occasions during the first half the ball was able to reach the Mallorcan forwards in good condition.
What’s more, the visiting team she spent many minutes giving possession of the ball to a Gimnástica Segoviana who handled it with discretion, although without depth.
After halfway through the first half, the vermilion team took a step forward, with Battaglia and Abdón Prats enjoying two good chances to make it 0-1 shortly before the big scare for Mallorca arrived, since in a ball filtered by local Manu towards Alexander Szymanowski, who was clearly knocked down by goalkeeper Greif, making it easy for Arberola Rojas to mark the penalty spot.
Szymanowski was in charge of throwing from eleven meters, but his ‘Panenka’ was read perfectly by Greif, which stopped its launch. Szyma himself narrowly missed a center from the right wing, closing with 0-0 a first half in which Mallorca was no better than a Second RFEF team.

The visiting team improved their performance in the first minutes of the restart, and Gayá had the goal in his head, but his shot went high. Mallorca’s occasion became a mirage of what the second half was, although the entry of Mboula, Ángel and Dani Rodríguez gave Luis García’s men more possession. In the clearest opportunity to sentence the tie, Mboula ran into goalkeeper Lombo.
Once again, the Segoviana had the clearest chances in the final stretch of the game, with a shot from Nogueira that narrowly went wide, and a header from Rafa Llorente that crashed into the crossbar, closing regulation time with 0- 0 on the scoreboard.
It had to be Ángel Rodríguez who, in the fourth minute of extra time, took advantage of a perfect delivery from Ruiz de Galarreta to score the 0-1. Shortly after, a hitch between Nogueira and Ruiz de Galarreta himself ended the two players in the locker room early and Ángel, in the last play of the first part of extra time, sentenced the game with the second goal.
