1 Cadiz
Date 4th April 2009 Amarilla 93 mins Ormazabal 25 mins
Requena Juanma
Delgado
Fragoso
 

With three injured players this week some enforced changes sees Delgado return to the heart of the defence alongside Mansilla, which allows Fragoso  to move up into the middle of the park to replace Fleurquin. Cortes starts as the replacement for Caballero and Juanma replaces Enrique on the right wing. The opening ten minutes on a very warm afternoon in Seville were pretty level but after that Cadiz got into their stride and virtually dominated the half with Ormazabal linking well with the wingers, Lopez Silva and Juanma, and the front man Toedtli. It was a good play between Toedtli and Ormazabal that saw the first clear chance for los amarillos when the centre forward slipped the ball to the midfielder but his powerful shot was turned behind thanks to a great save by Arturo, the Ecija keeper. From the resultant corner taken by Lopez Silva, Toedtli climbed high and got his head to the ball but the ball went agonisingly the wrong side of the post. In the 25th minute a good shot from the left by Juanma smashed into the post and bounced out to Lopez Silva on the right of the box, he controlled the ball and played it back inside for Ormazabal to run on to and fire the ball home to make it 0-1 to Cadiz. Shortly afterwards and Cadiz had the ball in the net again when Juanma converted a pass from Cortes but the effort was ruled out, presumably for offside. As the half progressed the only danger created by the home team came from free kicks but these were all easily handled by Casilla and his defenders, whilst it was Cadiz who looked the more likely to score with Toedtli again rising well to head the ball towards goal but again it was just wide and just before the half time whistle Lopez Silva had a great chance after a good pass from Toedtli but his effort, although on target, was easily dealt with by Arturo.

The second half started with the home team obviously having been given a strong team talk by their manager, none other than ex Cadiz player and manager Oli, as they came out playing strongly and closing down Cadiz quickly, stifling any attacks and instead pressing forward themselves looking for the equaliser. With half of the second half gone Cadiz had not caused any problems whatsoever around the goal defended by Arturo, although for all the possession that Ecija had they also had not really created anything. With time running out and all subs used Barreiro had a header that was off target and Juanma had a half chance that came to nothing but at the other end in the 81st minute Luna came close to grabbing the equaliser with an effort that was just off target. In the final minute of time added on Amarilla beat the offside trap and raced into the Cadiz box with just Casilla to beat, he fired the ball across goal and it beat Casilla to make the final score 1-1.

Although this was another two points dropped it does mean that Cadiz are now definitely in the play offs for promotion and they can now concentrate on trying to get that second chance of promotion by winning the league title.
