Match Report by Chris Peach – Torry Army Social Media
SC Torrevieja CF strengthened their second place position with a composed 2–0 victory over L’Olleria at the Nelson Mandela Stadium on Saturday, the second of three consecutive home fixtures and another that preserved their flawless record on their own turf.
Torry made the perfect start, taking the lead after just four minutes when Alex powered down the left, delivering a precise low cross into the box for Breno, who arrived with impeccable timing to steer a crisp finish beyond the goalkeeper from close range.
The visitors responded with purpose, using the full width of the pitch and attempting to unsettle Torry’s back line, but it was the home side who continued to fashion the better openings.
On 18 minutes Ismail produced a clever lob over the advancing keeper, only for the assistant’s flag to halt celebrations. The visitors then came close to equalising on the half-hour mark when a free header from six yards was planted straight into the grateful arms of Pizarro.
Torry regained control as the half progressed, and Breno almost doubled his tally just before the interval, sending an angled drive inches past the far post. The hosts went in at half-time with a narrow but deserved advantage.
The second half began with an unexpected delay after goalkeeper Pizarro took a knock following an ill-advised Cruyff turn inside his own penalty area. Thankfully, he was able to continue and once play resumed Torrevieja quickly re-established their rhythm.
Breno, a constant menace throughout, forced another sharp save with a powerful strike from the edge of the box. Managerial changes on 65 minutes injected fresh momentum, with Matías and Pucho making way for Ernesto and new signing Berenguer.
Almost immediately all three substitutes combined in a sweeping counter-attack that culminated in yet another Breno effort, this time saved at the near post.
L’Olleria remained committed to their direct approach, keeping two forwards high in an attempt to exploit any lapses, but Torry’s defence remained solid and largely untroubled. A further change on 80 minutes saw Ramiro replace Abadía, ensuring renewed energy for the final stages.
The decisive moment arrived in the 86th minute and showcased Torrevieja’s attacking fluency. Breno threaded an intelligently weighted pass through midfield to release Caleb down the right flank. The winger surged into the box and delivered a perfectly measured low ball across goal, where Berenguer arrived unmarked at the back post to tap home his first goal for the club. The finish sealed the win and capped an encouraging cameo for the newcomer.
Though the match will not be remembered as a classic, it was another controlled and confident home display from Torry, who continue to impress with their blend of discipline and attacking intent. L’Olleria worked hard and made life competitive, but rarely threatened after the break as Torrevieja managed the game with maturity. With another three points secured, they remain firmly in the hunt at the top of the table and maintain their 100% home record at the Nelson Mandela Stadium.
