The recently signed Canarian King has quickly made his mark since joining the squad. Gámez’s flair and creativity have injected new life into the attacking line. His ability has been obvious so far, with the Spanish Sensation earning praise from coaches and team-mates alike.
Gámez made his long-awaited debut against Płomień Jerzmanowice and wasted no time in showcasing his creative talent to assist Yuri Samyonov with the first goal of the game. The Spaniard completed a man of the match performance, by reacting quickest to score on his maiden bow after Enrico Forabosco’s missed pen.
Marcin Obyrtacz 🇵🇱
The Polish goalkeeper had to be patient in obtaining the number one jersey after Gabriel Muñoz’s fine form. However, Obyrtacz’s sharp reflexes when called upon have been key in securing vital points for the team. Ably assisted by some fine defending, Marcin’s ability to make game-saving stops has been instrumental in maintaining the Dragoons good form.
Obyrtacz won the man of the match plaudits in the 1-1 draw against Błękitni II Modlnica. Despite finding themselves on the backfoot in the early stages, the stopper made some key saves to ensure the Expats kept level.
