Next
up was La Briocha versus The Undatables. La
Briocha were in a 2-horse race for the Group
A title with not only the title and honour at
stake but also a preferable Cup Quarter-Final
tie. To win Group A La Briocha needed to better
Son Gual's result or match the result but with
a swing in goal difference in their favour.
Anything else would see Son Gual champions and
them through as runners-up.
The
Undatables were trying to arrest a run of three
successive defeats and a game against a team
with 10 points out of 12 and yet to concede
was arguably not the fixture they would've chosen.
However, stranger things have happened at the
end of a group campaign.
The
first goal was going to be crucial – you felt
The Undatables had to score it to give themselves
something to cling on to. It didn't go to plan
as La Briocha forged ahead through Cristiano
Manuel Somoza de Ilano. When Eduardo Benitez
made it 2-0 the Undatables had a mountain to
climb.
After
the break La Briocha were ruthless with an Alexis
Ferreyre double and first goal of the day for
Enzo Rogusa completing a 5-0 win. La Briocha
had lay down the gauntlet in the Group A title
race – Son Gual, over to you….
The
Undatables would have to wait and see if their
points tally would see them through to the Plate
or the Wooden Spoon play-off.
