Víctor Scores for UD San Pedro Amidst a Challenging Season

Víctor netted a goal for UD San Pedro, but the team continues to struggle this season. Since the change of coach, the red and black team has been unable to find their rhythm. This week, they missed the chance to gain three points in their home match against Casabermeja, which ended in a 1-1 draw, pushing them out of the direct promotion spots.

UD San Pedro Struggles to Kickstart Season Under New Coach

UD San Pedro has been struggling to get going since Rafael Escobar took over as coach. The red and black team has been having a hard time winning their matches, and this week was no exception. The San Pedro team hosted Casabermeja at the Municipal de San Pedro, after not showing their best form at the Memorial Antonio Naranjo, where they lost to FC Marbellí and drew a goalless match against Atlético Marbella Paraíso.

San Pedro Starts Strong but Fails to Secure Victory

This week, San Pedro started with a strong desire to win and managed to take the lead 17 minutes into the game thanks to a goal from Víctor. The home team had a few more chances but failed to score against their opponents. The red and black team missed opportunities, allowing their rivals to grow stronger as the game progressed. Just before halftime, Casabermeja managed to beat Reina to level the match, which went into halftime with a 1-1 draw.

San Pedro Struggles to Capitalize on Opponent’s Disadvantage

The match resumed with good news for San Pedro, as their opponent was reduced to ten men due to the expulsion of Olea in the 52nd minute. However, this caused their rival to fall back and defend the draw. San Pedro, fraught with nerves, failed to finish their offensive actions, prompting the local coach to make substitutions, bringing on Pablo, Jesús Díaz, Sumaila, and Houssam. The clearest chance for the home team came from Sumaila, whose shot hit the crossbar. Despite this, the score remained unchanged, ending the match in a 1-1 draw.

San Pedro Drops from Direct Promotion Spots

This draw means that San Pedro drops from the direct promotion spots, falling one point behind Martos, who are third, five points behind Mijas Las Lagunas, who are second, and seven points behind Atlético Porcuna, who lead the table.
