Carlos and Abraham on target for Racing San Miguel CF
The Rojiazules were on top throughout, with Formentera netting a consolation goal in the last minute.
Carlos netted to give Racing a 1-0 interval lead in a first half that saw the visitors lack a cutting edge, with Iván safeguarding between the sticks.
In the second half, the same trend continued, with the Sanmigueleros dominating the game, with a show of good football in sections.
Haste caused inaccuracies in the passing and there were constant interruptions because of fouls and forwards being offside, prior to Abraham netting Racing’s second goal, to secure a 2-0 win.
“It was three important points for the young Racing San Miguel team who hope to continue improving,” said a club spokesperson.
