Deportivo Fatik and EM Unani shared the spoils in the opening round of Nacionál B on Thursday evening, with the match ending 2:2. Both sides came away with a point after their first competitive meeting of the season.
There were plenty of chances created on both sides. Fatik registered 83 attacks with 7 corners, while Unani managed 85 attacks but only 2 corners. To be fair, that disparity in corners tells you something about how the game was played - not many set-pieces, just open play.
One mistake ends it, and the visitors paid for one. EM Unani were reduced to ten men after receiving a red card, which changed the complexion of the second half. They had already shown they could compete, though, with 85 attacks to Fatik's 83.
The table after one game looks peculiar. Fatik sit second with 1 point from 1 game, while Unani occupy first place with the same tally. No victories yet, just one draw each. By then, the real picture will emerge.
Neither side has lost, and neither has won. The season has barely begun, and both teams have proven they can find the net against each other. What happens next remains to be seen.
