2nd Half:

GOAL! 45:32 mins: LaCruz intercepts a Reguiero through ball, however he passes the ball straight into the path of Fernando Baiano who takes a touch before unleashing one hell of a strike, it was like a missile flying into the top corner of Kameni's net from 30 yards! 1-5 to Murcia

59 mins: a david Garcia cross through to Valdo, he heads it towards the top corner however is denied thanks to an emphatic save from Fabian Carini.

GOAL! 62 mins: De La pena plays it to Tamudo who shoots first time and it just slips past Carini's left hand!

63 mins: Baiano pulls up with an injury.

SUBS: Baiano off. Andrejev on
Tactical change. Pablo Garci moves back into the DM position, and Abel moves into the CM position, it looks as though Murcia have now gone more defensive for the final 30 minutes.

GOAL! 71 mins: Luis Garcia picks up a long ball by Valdo, he beats Ignashevich to the ball and cooly slots home past Carini

93 mins: Andrejev uses his blistering pace to beat LaCruz to a long ball from Cuadrado, he plays a beautiful ball across the face of the goal, goitom gets the final touch, but its stopped by Kameni's body, should of scored there.

FullTime

Espanyol 3 - 5 Murcia

Manager Overview: I thought we played magnificant and we deserved all 5 goals, however Espanyol did not deserve to bag 3 goal of their own, and they were all down to our own defensive errors, which i will be addressing for the next game.
