The match, played in Murcia, started with an active Antequera side. In the 8th minute, the white-and-green team took the lead with a powerful shot from a key player after a well-executed team play. However, the home team's response was swift, equalizing with a long-range shot deflected by the defense.
Despite the equalizer, the visiting team did not lose heart and regained the lead shortly after, with a good finish from another of their attackers. Before halftime, Antequera had an opportunity to extend their lead, but the shot missed the target. Real Murcia also created danger, with a header that came close to scoring.
The second half maintained its intensity. After a potential penalty for Antequera that the referee did not award, the official did signal a penalty for Real Murcia, which was converted to make it 2-2. The game then entered a balanced phase, with chances for both teams.
“"The team showed great resilience and never gave up, fighting until the end to secure these three golden points."
When a draw seemed inevitable, in injury time, an Antequera player connected with a teammate, who calmly slotted the ball into the net, sealing a 2-3 victory. This triumph allows Abraham Paz's team to take a giant step towards permanence. Antequera CF's next match will be on Saturday 25 at El Maulí against CD Eldense at 18:30.
