CD Montesinos vs Aspe UD

- By David Winder

TODAY saw Monte visiting Aspe for the first time to my knowledge, and as the only Brit visiting behind closed doors I felt very privileged and have to say it was an experience.

Upon arrival you are greeted with very large seethrough iron gates, looking out over an uncovered stand, which stretched the whole length of the pitch, an amazing, real green grass pitch, The match between the league leaders and CD Montesinos, waiting to clinch a place in the top 7 before the division is divided up, but we were not lucky with a positive result losing 3-1. A score to my mind, that did not flatter Aspe UD. Right from the start Aspe are on the attack with a corner in the first minute, and that attack continued with a goal that came right across the goal mouth right to left, and was not covered by Tonmi properly, resulting in a goal after seven minutes. That out of the way, the game settled down, and Monte got their first corner after 10 minutes. After 19 minutes following a mix up in the Monte goal mouth by Alfredo, Tonmi made a great save pushing the ball round the right post for a corner. From here it's attack, attack, and after another mix up on the goal line by Monte, there is an own goal, 2-0 after 20 minutes. It’s still all Aspe, but on 26 minutes we have our first real shot on target by Damian, which is saved by their goalie. On 29 minutes Tonmi made a great save with their man clear on goal, and this was really their first real attempt on goal.

At half time it was 3-0

I don’t know what our manager had to say at half time but things start to change right away and it’s now all Monte, and on 46 minutes their keeper is half-way up the pitch, Damian notices, and immediatel­y lobs the ball right over his head. GOAL 3-1.

On 83 minutes something strange happens with their number 20 who goes down on the ground and looks as if he’s dying with all the moans and groans, which continue for four minutes before being carried off the pitch. It was still all Monte going into injury time but after 97 minutes it’s all over, we lost 3-1. Tonmi was never troubled in the second half and I think Monte deserved more.

Aspe UD deserve to be top and probably deserve promotion. So now Monte are left to worry about results on Sunday and our final game for the final seven against CF Monnegre who lie second from bottom.

VAMOS MONTE!
