BACK TO FIXTURES & RESULTS PREVIOUS GAME NEXT GAME
The game started with the home side looking the more likely to take control although the match lacked any rhythym. After the initial scrappy first 10 minutes Cadiz started playing with more control and purpose and were the first to get a shot on goal. It came in the fourteenth minute from Pablo, who collected the ball weaved his way past players and sent in a great shot on goal that Kike, in the Ejido goal, did well to tip the ball wide for a corner. Within minutes los amarillos had another four clear cut chances to open the scoring from Caneda, De Quintana, Fleurquin, from a free kick and again from Pablo, after good play from Nano but they were unable to break the deadlock. It wasn't until just before half time that Ejido troubled the Cadiz goal and it was an effort from Pedro Vega, who hooked the ball goalwards from the edge of the area forcing Armando to pull off a great save. The home side then had a number of corners in quick succession, which troubled the Cadiz defence but they held out until half time with the score remaining at 0-0.
Polideportivo Ejido continued pressing looking to get back on terms with Cadiz but without any clear chances and without causing Armando too many problems and the visitors were able to hold on to their lead until the final whistle to take the well earned three points. The next game for Cadiz is the big local derby against Xerez at the Carranza, which will be kicking off at 17.30 on Sunday 6th May.

The
second half started in the same way as the first with the home side quickly out
of the blocks looking to intimidate and dominate the visitors. It didn't take
long for Cadiz to silence the small crowd when in the 54th minute los amarillos
were awarded a free kick at least 40 yards from goal. Up stepped Miguel Garcia
who fired the ball into the home area only to see, in all the confusion, the
ball go straight past the keeper and into the net to open the scoring for the
visitors. This goal forced Ejido forward which created more space for Cadiz to
counter attack swiftly and on one of these occasions the ball went to Pablo down
the right wing whose cross into the box clearly hit the hand of Tena. Either the
referee didn't see it or decided it was accidental because he waved play on with
the visiting players and fans shouting for a penalty. Both sides had chances to
score with Sesma, who had come on for Nano, having the best chance for Cadiz
when he found himself with only the keeper to beat but his goal bound effort
cannoned off the body of Kike to safety. The be3st chance for Ejido came from
the boot of Paco Esteban who shot from outside the area but saw his effort well
tipped to safety by Armando.
