La Balona imposes its shooting in the debut of CD Estepona (0-2)

**The Francisco Muñoz Pérez stadium was once again the venue for CD Estepona's first friendly of the preseason, which ended in a 0-2 defeat against Real Balompédica Linense.

The start made it clear that the Linenses had a point more speed and intensity. Before the break, Juanillo opened the scoring with a precise shot that punished a local defensive lapses. In the second half, Moyano increased the income after effectively completing a new error in the ball exit of the local defense.

Despite the result, CD Estepona had its moments. Ariel Herrero came close to scoring with a powerful header from the penalty spot that forced the visiting goalkeeper to intervene with feline reflexes. Sandji Barandji also tried his luck with a dry shot that went just wide of the post.

One of the most celebrated moments for the fans was the debut of Manu Santos, who played the whole second half. The young player left very good sensations, showing boldness, criteria in the circulation and personality to ask for the ball at all times.

The match, broadcast live on the CD Estepona Fans website, helped the Muñoz Pérez team to start greasing the machinery.

The next test will be on Saturday, August 16, away, against Atlético Malagueño, where they will seek to continue adding minutes and positive feelings.
