Atletico de Catral CF took three points in the Valencia Preferente Group 4 following a 2-1 away win at CD Murada, the victors described as the most accomplished team in the group by Murada coach Roberto Cases.
Cases, hopeful his team would put on a good performance for supporters, said: “We had to overcome one of the fittest teams in the championship, despite being a newcomer in this category.
“Catral is surely the most accomplished team of the entire group, because a large part of the team has been with the same coach for a long time.
“They have many established mechanisms, a set game model and a great set piece.”
