Huddersfield Town 2-1 SD Portmany by Kev Monks

The game nobody wants - the Copa Ibiza 3rd/4th place Play-off was won by Huddersfield Town.

In front of a sparse crowd of probably no more than 250, it was the side from the Baleraric League who opened the scoring in the 11th minute when Miguel Ramon was allowed space to plant a header in the back of the net from nine yards.

Huddersfield who included former Sky Blue Martin Booty drew level in a drab opening period when Tom Carrs drilled home a 40th minute right footed effort from the edge of the area.

In the 67th minute,Huddersfield should have gone ahead when Gary Taylor-Fletcher struck a post.

Four minutes later,Town boss Pete Jackson was forced into a change following Gary Schofield being ordered to be replaced by referee Eddie Sweeney after he reacted to a late challenge.

Former City reserve teamer Martin Booty came on with seven minutes to go and the change worked as a low drive from Jon Worthington from the edge of the area.

Portmany nearly replied straight away when David Yanez broke through only to strike the foot of the right hand postas Town held onto win.
