Córdoba is in the Second Division and completes the double Andalusian party that Málaga started on Saturday in Tarragona. The hero of the green and white return to professional football was Alberto Toril. Without a doubt, the man of the playoff in Córdoba key. His three goals against Barça B have crowned Córdoba in the final duel to the glory of a fan that packed El Arcángel (almost 21,500 souls).
Toril found two unbeatable partners in Calderón and the rival goalkeeper, Marc Vidalwhich took the Barça philosophy to the extreme and left Casadó sold in an impossible ball delivery that the Córdoba striker converted to make it 2-1, a goal that is now forever part of the golden pages of Córdoba’s history .
The local team was superior and deserved the promotion. But it did not have a brilliant staging and it was difficult for him to get the pulse of the game. Iván Ania’s team did not win for fear in the first race. The Barça reserve team, on the other hand, came out plugged in and with a well-defined plan. Fort, Bernal and Pau Víctor did a lot of damage on the right And so the first chance of the game arrived when the second hand had not yet made a complete revolution of the clock. Marín avoided Moha’s goalwho finished at close range on the edge of the small area.
Héctor Fort was much more effective in the second serious visitor attempt. The full-back teamed up with Bernal and the combination, full of class, led to the entire lane being free for the ’32’, who He forgot to look for a back pass and shot Marín.
And there, when the alarms went off, the Córdoba was activated. Diarra and Isma Ruiz raised the level of green and white intensity two steps, Carracedo and Adilson began to come into play and the ball changed sides. Barça was not able to retain the ball and the disputes almost always fell on the Andalusian side. Bullpenwith an impressive header, took advantage of the candy that Calderón served him from the left. The Córdoba striker, the green and white hero in this promotion playoff, had the lead 2-1 before the breakbut this time it lacked precision in the definition.
The break did not break the pace of Córdoba, who kept their foot on the accelerator and dynamited the match and the tie upon their return from the booth. Carracedo gave Gerard Martín the night. He first shot wide and then was key in putting pressure on the reserve team’s release of the ball. Vidal put Casadó against the ropes and the ball went to the smartest of the playoff, Alberto Torilwhich he defined with an exquisite touch to overtake the Barça goalkeeper.
The Archangel raised the decibels and neither Rafa Márquez nor his footballers found answers. Annawho has masterfully handled his pieces throughout the season, He sacrificed Zalazar to put legs in the midfield with Álex Sala and try to avoid the transitions of Barça’s talented youth players.
And he got it. Córdoba had plenty of skill and personality in the final stretch of the game. Barça B lacked continuity in the game and clairvoyance beyond the faith- and strength-filled climbs of Fort. But that was not enough and Córdoba is now, with all honors, a Second Division team.
