EPFC played Mons Calpe on Saturday in an important game in the fight for 4th place in the table. It was a back and forth start and Mons Calpe had a great chance with a one on one in the 12th minute that was stopped brilliantly by Johannes Strom. Mons Calpe then received a red card 37 minutes in after a high challenge from Alejandro Satriano caught Hugo Jesslen in the midsection.
In the second half EPFC took advantage of the extra man with Hugo Jesslen scoring in the 63rd minute. Kelvin Morgan did very well to pull the ball back to the penalty spot where Hugo was waiting to fire it into the roof of the net with his right foot. A few minutes later Mark Chichon had a curling effort saved brilliantly by ex Europa Point player Daniel Tudela. Mark picked the ball up on the left wing, cut inside and hit a great strike that was heading straight for the top right corner, but it was somehow kept out by Mons Calpes number 1. Tudela made another key stop from the resulting corner to keep Mons in the game. A few minutes later Jaro Vinet capitalised on a mistake from Strom to level the game at 1-1.
With 10 minutes to go Johan Andersson won posession on the halfway line and took matters into his own hands going on a mazy run through 4 or 5 Mons Calpe defenders and finishing brilliantly to make it 2-1. What a goal!!
The boys saw the game out keeping posession and defending well to secure all three points and move one step closer to securing 4th place.
