Gato stops Zaragoza

CE Sabadell FC clinched an important victory on matchday 18 of the Liga Adelante thanks to a second-half goal from midfielder Manuel Gato. The same player had missed a penalty for his Catalonian team in the first half.

It was a match between two teams who find themselves in very different situations. Sabadell, who had only won once in their last five matches, were up against a run of three victories from Paco Herrera's men. After a first half which was short clear opportunities for both teams, Gato missed a penalty for Sabadell one minute from the break.

The half-time talk gave the visitors the belief that they could take the lead. However, a counterattack created by Juanjo Collantes down the right wing ended in Gato's fourth goal this season, which was enough to cut short Real Zaragoza's progression in the Liga Adelante.
