Luis Carrión introduced half a dozen changes to the eleven and he had to change the proposal he envisioned due to the departure, at the last minute, of Pablo Vázquez, who had left his position to Delmás.

The match progressed at low speed, with little tension due to the comfortable situation of the two teams, far from relegation and also in sixth position. The stands were also tainted by monotony, with more than 2,000 fans.

Alfredo Ortuño, one of Cartagena’s novelties, broke the boredom eleven minutes before the break. Murcian took control of the front, overtook Diego Alende by a meter and with his left foot he forced Whalley’s fists open to avoid the goal.

The sparkle continued on both teams. A shot from De Blasis again required a response from the Lugo goalkeeper and his refusal was caught by Okazaki, who sought a penalty for a slight grab by Alende that was not considered by the referee or the VAR.

The one who short-circuited the first part when it expired was Xavi Torres. In a throw-in with two combs by Lugo and Cartagena failing to get stuck successfully, the ball fell to the veteran midfielder, who was unforgiving.

The Murcians returned to the pitch wounded in their pride and were able to recover in the first minute, but between Whalley and the post they prevented Nacho Gil’s header, from Delmás ’center, from landing behind the net.

However, Lugo provided the greatest sense of danger in the rival area, where Cuéllar tried Marc Martínez with a hard shot (m.56) and the visiting defense countered with a shot by Clavería (m.66). ).

Carrión responded with the entry of Boateng and Rubén Castro, but little changed in the setting of a game that locals knew how to tie.
