Matchday nº 20 of the Andorran League positions Goldstar FC Santa Coloma closer to the leader of the competition after winning decisively at Unió Esportiva Engordany.
The match began with some difficulty in reaching the opponent’s area as the opposing team was organized and well positioned defensively despite not creating too much sense of danger.
Everything changed in Goldstar’s favor when, in the 39th minute, Octavio Paéz scored the first goal with a set piece after a foul.
The score is 0-1 at halftime and when the game resumes, Goldstar continues to approach and press with the calmness that gives a favorable result at that moment.
In one of these incursions, a defender from UE Engordany commits a foul near the corner area and, being his second yellow card, he is sent off. Daniel Toribio takes advantage of this opportunity to take the free kick that Eloy Gila finishes with precision in front of the goal. This second goal went on the scoreboard in the 64th minute.
The rival team, already numerically inferior on the field of play, tried to get the ball and surprise in some counter by failing to generate scoring chances.
Goldstar FC Santa Coloma did not let up and in one of the actions Maksim Valadzko passes the ball deep to David Virgili breaking the defense and not finding himself in an offside position, faced the goalkeeper and scores the final 0-3 in the 70th minute .
After that, the UE Engordany closed even more, making access to Santa Coloma even more difficult, however the team still had some more opportunities that did not materialize.
We highlight the strong blow suffered by goalkeeper Jose Bejarano that left him unconscious for a few seconds but fortunately, after being taken to the hospital, he was sent home and is doing well.
New victory for the team that arrives at a key moment to continue in the first positions fighting for the title.
