CD Estepona's victory in Jerez 0-1 does not save a Mikel Llorente who was sentenced

The CD Estepona achieved its first big win of the season by beating Xerez CD at Chapín by 0-1 thanks to a goal by Javi Castedo in the 93rd minute. The team from Estepona played a very serious match, despite their delicate situation, as the match started with the red and red team at the bottom of the table. The team of the already dismissed Mikel Llorente knew how to suffer when it was necessary and delivered the final blow in the last play, taking three golden points from a complicated stadium. Something that has not served for the continuity in the bench of the Basque coach, thus paying for the bad preseason and the beginning of the season, of a team prepared for higher levels.
**A start of the match with a lot of personality
Mikel Llorente's Mikel Llorente team took the field with clear ideas: lines together, intensity in the pressure and fast transitions. Soon came the first dangerous arrivals: a cross shot by Javi Grillo, a cross by Candelas into the area and a powerful shot by Dani Sancho that grazed the crossbar. Estepona** controlled the tempo of the match and showed more offensive clarity than a Xerez team with a thick flow of play.
**Resistance and order in the second half.
After the break, Xerez raised their lines and sought to put Estepona away. There, the Malaga team showed its defensive solidity. The central defensive pairing of Titi and Caro, supported the block, while Alfonso Liceras, as always, was safe under the posts. Llorente moved the bench to refresh the team: Javi Duarte, Marínand Sandjiadded air in the middle and on the wings, and Javi Castedoentered at the restart to give more bite in attack.
Goal and smash and grab in the 93rd minute.
The effort was rewarded. When everything seemed to be heading for a draw, in the 93rd minute, a cross from the side ended up bouncing off a Xerez defender and Javi Castedo, attentive, headed powerfully into the back of the net. The goal silenced Chapín and unleashed the joy in the red and white expedition, celebrating in great communion with the team at the end of the match. A hard-earned, fair and very valuable victory, although not enough for Mikel Llorente to sit on the Estepona bench next Sunday.
**Three points that strengthens this squad.
The Estepona thus added his first away victory, demonstrating that there is template and that this team is able to compete with guarantees and fight for the objectives, as reflected in the great performance, in one of the stadiums and against one of the teams most difficult of the category.
