The yellows were not able to beat the Balearic team, and are five points away from safety with only fifteen points at stake
Cádiz CF was unable to overcome RCD Mallorca in the Nuevo Mirandilla, and added an insufficient point in their aspirations to remain in the highest category of Spanish football.
In a 1-5-3-2 formation, the Cadista coach matched the tactical proposal of the Balearic team.
After ten minutes, Muriqi put Javier Aguirre’s team ahead. The Kosovar striker finished off a lateral cross from Valjent with great ease despite Fali’s mark, and beat Ledesma with a close header. The stage was frozen after the visitor’s goal, and the yellows could not find solutions to overcome an opponent who seemed very comfortable with an advantage on the scoreboard. A shot from the edge of Alcaraz, and a half-scissors shot by Chris Ramos, was the poor baggage of the locals to equalize the goal conceded.
After the restart, Pellegrino varied the system and returned to the usual 1-4-4-2 that he drew with the entry of Javi Hernández and Sergi Guardiola. The attacking arguments of the locals continued without disturbing the goal defended by Rajkovic. It would be Mascarell who would equalize the match after finishing Sergi Guardiola’s lateral cross into his own goal. Different party disposition that would reignite the Cadista fans. More changes would come with respect to the initial bets. In the 66th minute, Fali did not understand Ledesma in a split ball that almost meant 1-2. Which Darder had in 86. The red player sent the ball to the post after touching the tip of the Ledesma mitt. And just a minute later, Roger had the chance to score the winning goal. But his shot was too close to the side of the net.
In the end, a tie that leaves the yellows five points behind RC Celta with only fifteen more at stake. The next day the Cadista team will visit Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.
