Tactical Story

CD Agoncillo used a 4-4-2 shape and tried to make the game physical. They found success from wide deliveries and set plays, but their high line was exposed repeatedly by Calahorra’s runners. The home side’s decision to chase the game late left them vulnerable to the counter, which ultimately produced the fifth goal.
