CF Montañesa 1-0 Fundació Esportiva Grama: Narrow Win Bolsters Playoff Push

CF Montañesa secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Fundació Esportiva Grama at the Camp Municipal de Montañesa on Sunday, 20 September 2026, in a Tercera División RFEF Group 5 clash. A second-half goal was enough to separate the sides in a tense, tactical battle.

Match Overview

Montañesa entered the game with momentum, having lost just once in their previous five matches, while Grama were searching for consistency. The first half was a cagey affair, with both teams prioritising defensive solidity. Clear-cut chances were rare, but Montañesa's wingers looked dangerous on the break.

The breakthrough came in the 67th minute when a quick passing move opened up the Grama defence. Marc Vilanova played a clever one-two on the edge of the box before slotting the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper. Grama pushed for an equaliser in the final 20 minutes, but Montañesa's backline held firm.

Key Moments

• 67' – Montañesa 1-0: Marc Vilanova finishes a slick team move with a composed finish inside the area.
• 78' – Grama chance: A free-kick from the left is met by a Grama forward, but the header clips the top of the crossbar.
• 90+3' – Late save: Montañesa goalkeeper Pol Serra produces a superb reflex save to deny Grama a dramatic equaliser.

Tactical Story

Montañesa deployed a 4-4-2 formation, focusing on disciplined defending and rapid counter-attacks. Their midfield duo worked tirelessly to disrupt Grama's rhythm. Grama, lining up in a 4-3-3, enjoyed more possession but struggled to penetrate a well-organised defence. The introduction of fresh legs from the bench helped Montañesa see out the game.

Standout Players

Marc Vilanova was the match-winner, his movement and finishing proving the difference. Pol Serra's late save preserved the clean sheet and highlighted his importance. For Grama, midfielder Oriol Puig was a constant threat with his passing, but his side lacked a cutting edge.

Table and Season Impact

The three points keep Montañesa firmly in the race for a playoff spot in Tercera División RFEF Group 5. Grama remain mid-table, but they will need to convert possession into goals to climb higher. Montañesa next travel to face UE Vilassar de Mar, while Grama host CE Europa.
