Sabora B secured a 2-0 victory away to Real Frontera in the Segunda División Regular Season on Tuesday evening. The result moves the visitors further clear at fifth place while the hosts remain rooted in ninth. By then the match had settled into a pattern you could see coming.
Sabora B took the lead in the 18th minute, a goal that gave them control without needing to dominate possession. Real Frontera had 53 per cent of the ball but could not find a way through. And here's the thing about matches like this — the team with more possession is not always the one creating chances.
The second goal came in the 85th minute, a late finish that killed any remaining hope of a comeback. Real Frontera were reduced to ten men three minutes later when they received a red card in the 90+3rd minute. The visitors had 104 attacks against 105 for the hosts, but the difference was in what they did with them.
Real Frontera's recent form has been difficult. They have lost their last five matches, including heavy defeats to Puerto Cabello II and Zamora. To be fair, Sabora B have also had their share of struggles, losing three of their last five, but they showed enough quality to take all three points here.
The result leaves Real Frontera on 11 points after 23 games with just three wins. Sabora B move up to 31 points, eight ahead of the hosts with the same number of games played. Real Frontera have only managed two draws in 23 matches, and this result extends a run that has seen them win just once in their last ten outings.
