Juvenil A – Cornellà:
Line-up:
The Match:
Due to injuries to Jaume Jardi and Franc Angong, Franc Artiga implemented a few changes in the line-up with Ilias Akhomach starting the game on the right-wing. Cornella started the game aggressively with high pressure, not allowing Juvenil A to build up from the back. However eventually in the 12th-minute youngsters managed to shake off their pressure. An exceptional through ball by Txus Alba reached Angel, who opened the scoring.
With this goal, Angel Alarcon has scored 6 goals this season. A sublime defensive display from Joan Gonzalez who has been converted from a midfielder and played most of this season in defence. Just before half-time, Joan was rewarded with a goal. A corner taken by Ilias reached Joan who headed the second goal of this match. Great vision from Ilias Akhomach managed to pick Txus alba at the edge of the box, who scored the third goal for Juvenil A. Finishing the game 3-0.
Conclusions: After a win against Cornella, Juvenil A mathematically guaranteed their place at Copa. Juvenil A will now face Atleticos Villacarlos on Saturday, before facing Espanyol B on the 7th of March. The Player of the match for me was between Txus Alba and Ilias Akhomach. However, eventually picked Ilias, who could have had a hat-trick of assist and a few goals in the game if not for Cornella goalkeeper León.
