Saguntino Thrown Out in Federation Cup by Navalcarnero
Navalcarnero saw off Saguntino 4-0 in the Round of 16 at the Federation Cup on Tuesday evening. The visitors dominated from the start, with goals coming thick and fast after the break. By then the result was never in doubt, though the manner of it was perhaps more decisive than the scoreline itself.
D. Corceovei opened the scoring in the twenty-second minute, catching Saguntino off guard. Peque doubled the lead just before half-time, and within a minute of the restart there was a third goal—scorer not listed in the records. P. Agustin made it four in the forty-seventh minute, and he added his second in the eighty-fourth to put the final touch on a comprehensive display.
The statistics provided are somewhat puzzling: both sides credited with zero attacks and fifty percent possession. To be fair, these figures don't tell us anything meaningful about how the game unfolded. What they do suggest is that the match was decided long before any measurable output could be recorded on paper.
Saguntino's recent form offers little comfort. They beat Torrent 2-1 in their last outing, but before that came a defeat to Reddis and a string of draws against lesser opposition. Navalcarnero, meanwhile, have been more consistent—clean sheets against Talavera and Real Avila, though they lost to Getafe and Alcorcon in older fixtures.
The goal difference of four tells you everything about this tie. Saguntino will need to work hard to find an answer, but there is no sign of one coming. Navalcarnero hold every card now, and they have nothing to lose.
