VCF Mestalla came away with an emphatic 1-3 win at Orihuela CF on Matchday 2 in group IV of Tercera RFEF. Miguel Ángel Angulo’s side visited a tough place, but the b team provided an emphatic response through a great Hugo González first-half strike and two further second half goals from Fran Pérez and Gozálbez which puts them as group leaders with two wins from two games.
VCF Mestalla were off to a perfect start through Hugo González’s fine free-kick goal from outside the area which gave them an early lead as he grabs his second free kick goal thus far. He had already scored in a pre-season friendly against Hércules CF.

Mosquera partnering at the heart of the defence as well as Charly who pulled off some fine stops to keep the scoreline at 0-1 going into the interval.
VCF Mestalla took charge of proceedings in the second half, looking to double their lead. Fran Pérez came close to scoring with a powerful drive from outside the area and minutes later, aforementioned Fran Pérez found the net with a cross-strike following a fine move and assist from Pédro Alemany.
VCF Mestalla rounded off the scoreline in the closing minutes through a Gozálbez effort despite the home side pulling one goal back through Champi which was nothing more than a consolation goal to Orihuela CF.
