Noia Portus Apostoli came from behind to beat Jimbee Cartagena Costa Cálida 3-1 away in the fifth round of Liga Prime Futsal’s Torneo Apertura, recording a second successive victory and moving into sixth place on seven points from four matches. Mykytiuk scored twice, including an equaliser 32 seconds into the second half, after Gon Castejón had put Jimbee ahead shortly before the interval.
The result represented a significant response from Noia in Cartagena. The visitors arrived with several absences and had to withstand extended first-half pressure, but turned the contest after the break before defending their lead against Jimbee’s late use of an outfield player in the goalkeeper role.
Mykytiuk changes the match after the interval
According to Noia’s match report, Jimbee began with the initiative and created a series of attempts, with Noia goalkeeper Di Fanti repeatedly involved. The home side’s breakthrough arrived after 19 minutes and 20 seconds, when Gon Castejón drove inside and finished low to make it 1-0.
Noia had threatened only intermittently before that goal. Thierry hit the bar, while Dani Colón, Charly and Thierry were also listed by the club among the visitors’ earlier attacking outlets. Jimbee’s lead nevertheless lasted only until shortly after the restart.
Noia reported that their equaliser was constructed from five passes involving four players. Dani Colón provided the final lay-off for Mykytiuk, who struck powerfully to level the score just 32 seconds into the second period. That rapid reply prevented Jimbee from building on their half-time advantage and gave Noia a platform to play more frequently on the break.
The official Liga Prime Futsal account similarly identified the opening moments of the second half as the shift in the match. It reported that Jimbee had controlled much of the first period but were dealt a setback by Mykytiuk’s immediate equaliser.
Noia then took the lead in the 28th minute. Charly won possession and delayed his pass for Dani Colón, who finished to make it 2-1. The visitors’ ability to convert two decisive second-half moments contrasted with the pressure Jimbee had exerted before the interval.
Late goalkeeper change cannot rescue Jimbee
Jimbee introduced Motta as a goalkeeper-player with five minutes remaining, according to Noia. By then, Di Fanti had left the court because of discomfort and Peixe had entered in goal. Peixe’s appearance was his first since an injury almost six months earlier, although Di Fanti later returned.
Noia said the goalkeeper alteration was forced by Di Fanti’s discomfort rather than being a tactical substitution. Peixe made two saves during his return before Di Fanti re-entered, helping the visitors manage the closing pressure while they were protecting their one-goal advantage.
The visitors held out through the closing spell, and Mykytiuk settled the result with a little more than a minute left. Noia said he began the move in his own area, evaded a defensive challenge and struck a left-footed shot which went in off the woodwork for 3-1.
The scoreline also reflected a demanding team situation for Noia. The club reported that Leozin, David Pazos, Ismael and Rubi were unavailable, while captain Altamirano was named but did not play. Montero and Peixe, however, had returned to the group.
For Jimbee, the loss extended a difficult recent sequence. Liga Prime Futsal reported that the Cartagena side had suffered a second consecutive defeat and collected one point from their last three matches. Noia, by comparison, added three points to follow their previous win, taking their return from four games to seven points.
That arithmetic explains the immediate significance of the result: Noia’s two-match winning run accounts for six of their seven points, and it has lifted them to sixth. Their next listed fixture is at home to Servigroup Peñíscola after the international break.
