In the final game of the season in Preferential Autonomous and after one hundred and twenty minutes of play, Cieza was declared the ‘play-off’ champion for promotion to 3rd RFEF yesterday by beating Águilas B 1-4 in the final of El Rubial, which will accompany Alcantarilla and Muleño to the new category. At the end of the game, it was tied at one, forcing an extra 30 minutes to be played.
The meeting took place in El Rubial, where there was an extraordinary atmosphere with the presence of nearly 2,000 people, half of whom were from Cieza, traveling in eight buses and hundreds of private vehicles. Very hot afternoon and very happy at last for the ciezanos.
The clash was marked by equality, although Cieza had a slight dominance. In the first half, neither Cieza nor Águilas had any chances to score. The restart was more lively and it was the Águilas who took the lead on the scoreboard via Cobarro. Already in the discount, Nasta equalized from a penalty and drove the ciezana fans crazy. They were almost out of promotion.
In extra time, and with Águilas one man behind due to Valdo’s 93rd minute expulsion, both teams tried desperately to break the tie, reaching the end of the rules 90. Mona made it 2-1 and Joaquín and again Nasta condemned the match in Cieza’s favour, a somewhat exaggerated result. The Eagles eventually lost their second game of the year at their stadium.
“Anything that does not promote to the Third Division is a failure,” said Cieza president Antonio López ‘Quevedo’ at the start of the competition. So goal achieved.
