Hassle-free match played this afternoon Murcia Cobras against Granada Lions who came to Murcia as Serie A bottoms, and with some important losses on their roster, which further complicated any possibility of surprise
The final result of 40-00 reflects the superiority of Cobras throughout the game.
The Head Coach Daniel Iniesta took advantage of the game to give rest to some players, like Javier Balsalobre, who had played all the snaps of the last two days against Dracs and Black Demons.
Those losses, and rotations during the game of other players, especially in the offensive line, undermined the pace of an offense that did not shine as in the previous two days.
The first drive ended in a career touchdown of Alejandro Amorós, who made a good game by taking the reins of the races today.
The defense at this time, it worked without problems before the offensive of Lions, that tried, without much success, to move the ball through inner races, and short passes to its tight ends.
However, in the second drive, Granada Lions got what Black Demons could not get on the fifth day, and Murcia Cobras was forced in a short series of three and went to get the ball away.
Little joy lasted Granada Lions, who was still intercepted in his field by Valentin Pardo, one of the juniors who debuted today with the senior team, and gave a very favorable field situation so that finally Adam Salvadori took the ball to the Andalusian end zone.
With the change of room, the differences in level between the two teams were already remarkable, and this did not favor the concentration of the players of Cobras, who dropped some balls that we are not used to and that reduced the game displayed. late.
Still the superiority was remarkable, and Alex Holmes would get two more in this quarter to go to halftime with the result of 27-00.
It was in this second quarter when Granada was closer to score, when he got on the same drive to deceive the Cobras defense with a pass from his runningback, and complete a pass to the tightend that would leave the Granadans with a favorable first and goal, although finally the Murcia defense reacted and left without effects the only visit of Lions to the network zone of Cobras this afternoon.
The second part was used by Cobras staff to give minutes of breaks to the most common, Adam Salvadori downgrade the command to junior quarterback Álvaro Cánovas, and replaced virtually the entire offense, now represented by rookies and juniors players.
He now managed to stop the Lions defense to Murcia with some regularity, but the two interceptions returned by Jose Antonio Rufete well into the Lions field, gave new opportunities to Cánovas to find their receivers, which got in the fourth fourth when in the same drive he found Pablo Serrano on two almost consecutive occasions, thus adding the fifth Murcia touchdown.
The account would be closed with a new interception of Cobras, in this case achieved and returned for a touchdown by José Antonio Castanedo, with the game already almost over.
In short, a comfortable victory and in which we saw many of the team's owners rest.
Cobras thus reserves forces in which, a priori, it will be a much more difficult visit to Fuengirola, which today was playing a great game in its trip to Black Demons and that will surely be encouraged to receive Cobras.
