Match Report
Marchamalo edged past Posuelo-Alarcon 1-0 in a Club Friendly on Friday evening. Gabri Salazar's 60th-minute goal proved decisive in a contest where chances were scarce. The visitors took all three points despite a modest performance.
And here's the thing about friendlies — you watch for patterns, not just results. Marchamalo's forward found space to slot home after both sides traded possession without creating much. Posuelo-Alarcon had one corner and nothing else to show for their attacking efforts.
To be fair, the statistics tell a sparse story. One corner for the hosts, zero for the visitors. No offsides, no free kicks, no red cards. Just a single yellow card for Marchamalo and a solitary goal. By then the match had settled into its rhythm.
The visitors will have felt some satisfaction given recent history. Marchamalo beat Posuelo-Alarcon 2-1 in September 2022, and this result adds another chapter to that fixture. Though their form has been mixed — losses to Guadalajara and Mostoles followed that win.
Posuelo-Alarcon's run hasn't been much better. They dropped points against Leganes II with a 1-1 draw, then fell to Illescas 0-1. Three games without a victory suggests they need to find some consistency before competitive fixtures begin.
One goal decided this match, and that's all the data provides. Neither side pushed for more, and the result reflects a friendly where both teams tested waters rather than went for broke. Marchamalo leave with the win; Posuelo-Alarcon have work to do.
