22nd Matchday of the Andorran League and first game of the last competition round against Atlético de Escaldes.
Goldstar comes out with a 1-4-3-3 game system and with a clear approach to having the ball and making it circulate.
With the idea of playing outside and centering taking advantage of chances to score, the game begins by testing the opponent in the first 10 minutes.
The team pressed well after the losses, with intensity and a David Virgili’s had one cross, produced on the baseline that intercepted the goalkeeper and was one of the first clear chances.
After an action in the Goldstar area that Eric Ruiz could not take out, there is an indecision about who goes to the ball between him and the goalkeeper that ends in Adrià Collet’s penalty on the rival attacker in minute 22.
Collet decisively dives to the left side and manages to stop it, saving that very clear opportunity for Atlético to open the scoring.
Right after that moment and taking advantage of the fact that the rival team was unmotivated after missing the penalty kick, Goldstar dominated the game for about 10 minutes with actions such as Maksim Valadzco’s who ended up by throwing the ball over the crossbar in the minute 30 and other occasions that were not achieved, arriving with the tie at 0-0 on the scoreboard and with the feeling of having competed face to face in the first part of the game.
The second half begins and in minute 53, after a lateral free kick that the team did not defend well, Atlético de Escaldes scored. From there, the coach begins to prepare the changes that will come later and the goal is to have options to finish off inside the area but it was difficult to have creations in the midfield and to have an arrival, which causes the minutes to go by without being able to give the return to the scoreboard until the end of the match.
The fact of not winning against the team at the top of the table takes almost Goldstar away from the League title but the team continues to fight for the European dream, also waiting for the semifinal match of the Constitution Cup on April 6.
