Atlético Marbella Paraíso Secures Another Victory

Atlético Marbella Paraíso achieved another victory this weekend, securing their second place and remaining two points behind the leader, FC Marbellí. The young player Agastya scored in the first half and Zoilo in the second, contributing to the team’s victory under the guidance of Chechu Rodríguez. Atlético Marbella Paraíso will face Cártama in the next round, a match that could potentially be a playoff between the second and fourth-ranked teams.

Agastya Scores the Opening Goal

Chechu Rodríguez, the team’s coach, included young player Agastya in the starting lineup for the second consecutive match. Agastya opened the scoring 10 minutes into the game. Jeremy sent a long ball to Juli, who was unable to beat goalkeeper Guiile, but the ball fell to Agastya who sent it into the net, putting the score at 1-0.

High-Paced Game with Opportunities for Both Teams

The match proceeded at a high pace with both teams creating opportunities. After the home team’s goal, the visitors had chances to equalize through David Pastor (14th minute) and Paco (20th minute). The first half ended with Ronda having a clear chance with a cross-shot from Borja that went across the small area without affecting the score.

Zoilo Extends the Lead in the Second Half

The second half continued in the same vein as the first, but it was the home team who posed the greater threat. After several attempts by the home team, the score moved to 2-0 in the 64th minute following a corner kick. Juli headed the ball, a Ronda defender cleared it off the line, but the ball fell to Zoilo who headed it into the net, extending the lead to two goals.

Atlético Marbella Paraíso Maintains Control

Ronda struggled to find a way to threaten Chechu Rodríguez’s team in the second half. Atlético Marbella Paraíso managed the game well, maintaining their lead without jeopardizing the result. Fallou had a chance to make it 3-0, but the Ronda goalkeeper made a good save. In the final moments of the game, the visitors managed to reduce the deficit through Hugo, who collected a ball in the area to beat Nono and add some uncertainty to the score.

Victory Secured Despite Late Drama

Despite more than 10 minutes of added time and the expulsion of Lucas, the score remained 2-1. The three points went to Atlético Marbella Paraíso, who will continue to fight in the last two rounds for the top spot in the standings, currently held by FC Marbellí.
