Peña Deportiva’s Push for Second RFEF

Travel Trouble Before Kickoff

The Peña Deportiva squad faced an unexpected hiccup before the match. A problem with the luggage meant several players’ boots were delayed, forcing the team to ask for a one‑hour postponement. Despite the setback, the Ibizans stayed focused and ready to fight.

First Half: A Tense Start

The opening minutes were cautious. Both sides avoided risky passes, creating a tense atmosphere with few clear chances. Manacor struck first after a slick move on the right flank. Adrià and Francisco combined, sending a cross that Cape turned into the net, making it 1‑0 and leveling the tie.

The goal energized the home crowd, but Peña responded quickly. Josep’s throw‑in found Salinas at the far post, who tapped the ball home to restore parity. The visitors grew stronger as the half wore on, even edging ahead before the break.

Second Half: Ibiza’s Gale

Salinas Levels the Score

After the break, Peña came out with purpose. Salinas struck again, capitalizing on a defensive slip to make it 1‑2 and silence the Na Capellera stands.

Mubarak Takes the Lead

Just minutes later, Mubarak finished a slick team move with a low shot near the post, pushing the score to 1‑3. Lautaro’s crucial save kept Manacor from pulling one back, effectively ending the Mallorcan threat.

Nico Seals the Win

With the game firmly in their grasp, Nico exploited a hesitation in the defense, raced past the keeper, and calmly slotted the ball home for the final 1‑3.

What’s Next?

Having overturned the tie with an aggregate score of 5‑2, Peña Deportiva is now just one round away from securing a place in the Second RFEF. Their next challenge will be the winner of the Andalusian clash between Arenas de Armilla and Motril. The dream of promotion is still very much alive.

Conclusion

Peña Deportiva showed resilience, tactical maturity, and a never‑give‑up attitude. Overcoming an early luggage issue, they turned a difficult away game into a commanding victory. With one more step to go, the team from Santa Eulària is poised to return to the Second RFEF, proving that determination can turn obstacles into opportunities.
