Real Murcia 2 Alcala 0

Iñaki Alonso was right. The 5 and 6 nil thrashings are Barcelona’s thing. Those expecting a high score will have disappointed, but Álcala were always going to defend in numbers and make it difficult, and they did it quite well until Real Murcia unlocked them a few minutes from half time. After that the result was never in doubt, and Alberto’s goal wasn’t threatened. Positive points…Kike is looking sharp in front of goal and is on a good run, and Dani Aquino had a very good game, playing a bit further back, and looks to be recovering the form that made him one of the best young players in Spain – let’s hope he can stay injury free, as a succession of niggling knocks and strains have blighted him.

In other games Sevilla B won with a very very late goal against Betis B, Cadiz could only draw at Yeclano, San Roque and Melilla also won. Tough away game at Melilla next week.....we will have to be on our game.
