On the 17th match of the League, Goldstar FC Santa Coloma faced Unió Esportiva Santa Coloma, a team that had just beaten the leader and that also has European aspirations.

The derby was exciting, the team went out with the 1-4-2-3-1 system and with a clear match plan after having analyzed the opponent, knowing that they would present a very physical, fighting and direct playing starting team.

The Goldstar came out prepared and withstood the first attacks well, which led to a fairly equal first half without too many chances.

The 2nd half begins with more control of the game and more possession of the ball, trying to take advantage of the David Virgili’s speed and surprise the opponent with the more advanced position of Kilian Grant at times and continuing with Maksim Valadzko as a decisive wing player replicating the good results obtained in the last matches.

Despite all this it was not easy to have depth. The team had some good chances like one clear one of Valadzko that was stopped by the Unió Esportiva goalkeeper well in the 70th minute.

The opponent generated more danger in set-piece plays such as corner kicks and some lateral fouls that Goldstar FC Santa Coloma was able to resolve well avoiding risks. Defensively, it was a correct game and the team remains undefeated in 2023, but the final result of a 0-0 draw leaves a bitter taste because the objective was to add the 3 points and maintain short distances with the leader who is the rival of the next sunday.
