UD San Pedro’s Initial Lineup Against Berja
UD San Pedro faced a disappointing day as they suffered a home defeat against Berja over the weekend. The red and black team, similar to their first round, found the match challenging against Berja, who seized their opportunity to score in the 23rd minute of the game. Despite the San Pedro team’s efforts to stage a comeback, they were unsuccessful, resulting in them conceding the lead to Atlético Porcuna.
UD San Pedro’s Anticipated Easy Match Turns Sour
UD San Pedro was expected to have an easy match against Berja, who has been languishing at the bottom of Group 2 of the Honor Division for months. However, Antonio Sánchez Frías’s team approached the match with caution, as the Almeria team had only won one match this season, which was the first round against the red and black team. The locals dominated the match but failed to capitalize on their opportunities.
Surprise Goal Shakes San Pedro
As the minutes passed without a goal to open the match, nerves began to show in the local team. The surprise came midway through the first half when the Almeria team managed to complete an offensive action to put the score at 0-1, reviving the ghosts of the first round match. From that goal onwards, the match was a continuous struggle for San Pedro, who besieged the opponent’s area but failed to find the net. The first half ended without any more goals.
San Pedro Struggles to Equalize
After the break, Sánchez Frías brought in Lucas Olmos to replace Pablo Ortega in an attempt to shake up the match, but to little avail. As the minutes passed, Berja managed to strengthen their defense to fend off the local attacks, while the red and black coach continued to make changes to try to spark a reaction from his team. The equalizing goal was close on several occasions, but it was not the day for the red and black attackers who saw the match becoming increasingly difficult, especially when Morilla was sent off in the 83rd minute.
