Round 26 of the Spanish LNFS has been completed and we were gifted with a fantastic weekend of some of the best futsal spectacles in the world.
>>> VIDEO: Levante strengthened its top position with another win
Fútbol Emotion Zaragoza 1-2 Palma Futsal
Zaragoza is leading a very important 'race' with Real Betis for the last playoff spot, although there is still a lot of time for things to completely change. With a win against Palma Futsal, Zaragoza would have pipped Betis on the 8th position - but it was not meant to be.
Palma Futsal's Higor opened the scoring with a header in the 7th minute after a long throw by their goalkeeper Barrón. Richi Felipe managed to equalize for Zaragoza a few minutes later after a corner-kick.
Result did not change more in the first half, or up until the last minute of the match for that matter. But we could have seen some fantastic saves by Barrón and Zaragoza's Iván Bernad.
In the last two minutes of the duel, Zaragoza's Ardi Ortego received a second yellow card, got sent off, and Palma Futsal now had a big chance to win - which they did. Nunes found the back of the net after a well-placed shot to keep Palma Futsal in contention for the league.
O Parrulo Ferrol 2-3 Burela FS
Bottom last O Parrulo Ferrol welcomed Burela FS who are fighting to get away from the relegations spot as much as possible, with hopes that they could catch that last train for playoffs given a series of great results.
But, the first obstacle has been dealt with. Burela's pivot Quintela opened the scoring in the 3rd minute after a quick transition. In the very next minute, David Pazos found the back of the net after a beautiful move and a nice shot from the left side of the box, extending Burela's lead.
O Parrulo pushed forward to find that important goal, but Burela's goalkeeper Edu was an enigma for the home side. With some great saves, O Parrulo's goalkeeper Espíndola kept his team's head over water.
But he was unable to stop a powerful shot by Renato in the second half that made Burela go three goals up. A beauty of a goal.
Thanks to the two fantastic goals by Iago Rodríguez, O Parrulo Ferrol came very close to the equalizer. They put everything they got in search for that third goal, but Edu was simply brilliant on the goal in the last stage of the match to secure Burela's victory.
Industrias Santa Coloma 3-2 Barça
A fantastic match and a big win for Industrias Santa Coloma as they escape the immediate relegation danger, but nothing was given to them.
With another sublime move and shot by Barça's pivot Ferrao, Barça took the lead in the 2nd minute of the match. Industrias Santa Coloma was not dishearted but they kept on pushing for the equalizer. Their efforts were rewarded in the 10th minute when Drahovsky found a way to put a ball behind Barça's Miquel Feixas.
Match continued in a similar fashion with both teams looking for scoring opportunities. But just before half-time, Barça's André Coelho managed to put one ball behind the line from the distance to put Barça in front at the break.
Álvarez managed to level for Industrias Santa Coloma in the 29th minute of the match after a shot bonanza in front of Barça's goal. With the flying goalkeeper implemented for the last stage of the match, Industrias Santa Coloma's Cardona found the back of the net in the last minute with a well-placed volley shot to secure a big victory for his team!
Industrias Santa Coloma 'christen' their new beautiful venue in style!
Inter FS 3-1 Córdoba Patrimonio
Struggling to keep above the relegation positions, Córdoba Patrimonio gave Inter FS a lot of trouble to eventually secure the victory.
We waited for the first goal all the way up until the 33rd minute when Inter's Eric Martel García found the back of the net. However, in the very same minute, Pablo Del Moral equalized for Córdoba Patrimonio.
Thanks to Cecilio's goal and another one by Eric Martel García, Inter secured an important win that sees them lunge to the provisional third place in the league, with the potential to sit in the second place later on.
Viña Albali Valdepeñas 4-2 Jimbee Cartagena
Jimbee Cartagena wanted to stop their recent poor run and record a much-needed victory against Viña Albali Valdepeñas who are also contesting the playoff positions.
And it started fantastically well for Jimbee Cartagena. Solano scored two goals in the space of two minutes in the opening stage of the match and things seemed to be going quite well.
However, in the very next minute, Cartagena's Jesús was unable to stop a cross ball ricocheting off of him into his own goal and Valdepeñas were back in the mix.
A few minutes later - we're back where we started. Chino scored a well-placed shot from the right side of the box to level the match.
In the second half, Valdepeñas turned things around in their favor. First, Dani Santos put the home team in front after a nice passing play action in front of Cartagena's goal. Few minutes before the end of the match, Álex García confirmed Valdepeñas' victory after a corner-kick.
ElPozo Murcia Costa Cálida 6-1 Real Betis Futsal
A clash of two high-aspiring teams offered us a great round of futsal and ElPozo Murcia was victorious without much drama.
Although, it was Real Betis who scored first in the opening stage of the match thanks to a goal by Bocao who showed great reflexes in front of the opponent's goal.
From then on, it was all ElPozo Murcia in regards to goals. Rafa Santos and Pol Pacheco immediately turned things around for the home team. The lead was further extended in the first half by Darío.
At the start of the second half, Fernando scored ElPozo Murcia's fourth goal, which was later on followed by goals from Alberto García and a second goal by Rafa Santos.
With two matches played less than their opposition, ElPozo Murcia is currently in the fifth position in the league, but it is not unimaginable that the Murcia team could jump all the way up to the second position.
Jaén FS 2-2 Ribera Navarra FS
The only match of Sunday's roundup that ended in a draw, but it couldn't have ended without a drama.
Alan Brandi has scored at the beginning of the match to put the home team in front. We didn't see more goals in the first half, and Jaén took the lead to the break. When we continued the second half, it was Jaén's Carlitos who further extended home side's lead.
But, Ribera Navarra did not want to give up just yet and their efforts were eventually rewarded. By the middle of the second half, David scored to get his team back in the mix, and in the very last minute of the match, Sena equalized for the guest who took a big away point from their direct rivals on the league table.
