Having defeated Bilbao Athletic, Eldense remained in Bilbao Athletic’s hands. Direct promotion to the Second Division. The fateful affairs and calendar draw that recently saved the rojiblanco subsidiary the first two (Eldense and Amorebieta playing for promotion) classified in Group 2 of the first RFEF have already been relegated.

Eldense is just a bullshit that will be resolved next week after they break their commitment to Bilbao Athletic, where they ended their draw streak on a mandatory victory day. This took a long time to come and it didn’t shine but it did. He also accompanied Amorebieta’s home draw against Nàstic. Now everything is in the hands of the last day: Murcia-Eldense and Bilbao Athletic-Amorebieta. Alicante is not looking good for its interests.

The first episode revealed the current reality of the two teams facing each other: It was difficult for Eldense to break the tie, and the Bilbao subsidiary presented a far-off picture for Lezama’s quarry.Although he probably had the best opportunity, a header against the crossbar from Ibon Sánchez is in one of the few rojiblancos to approach Guille Vallejo’s field.

Deportivo, for its part, tried without skill. Soberón was the first to approach the goal after stealing Mendibe’s wallet, entering the field and shooting a lot of cross shots. Cristian López had two, but he finished centered in both and hardly bothered Padilla. Fran Carnicer used local credits to try to open the score before halftime in a well-managed free kick that narrowly went out.

While he did not compromise 0-0 in Nuevo Pepico Amat, there was a two-minute rush in the stands that had nothing to do with the game. The first is when Amorebieta scores and the second when he scores. The draws on Basque territory gave Eldense oxygen before the second half and also Fernando Estévez’s men could not forget that Castellón jeopardized the second place from behind.

penalty goal

When it came to finding a way to get the ball into the goal defended by Padilla, the trend continued after players returned from the dressing rooms before Barça’s dominance was clear. First of all, it seemed only a matter of time before we could take advantage of a mistake made by a very weak opponent.

This came in the 70th minute. A left center was caught by Egiluz as he flew towards Soberón and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty. Seeing his tightness in Eldense seemed like the only way to gain an advantage, and Montes, who had just entered the field with Nieto and Jorquera in a triple change from Estévez, had no intention of forgiving.


Duel moment between Eldense and Bilbao Athletic Matias Segarra


Eldense’s goal got them to take the second place (Castellón was out of range for a few minutes) and expect Amorebieta to pile up on setbacks this League final.

With 1-0, Eldense had already got what it wanted and Bilbao Athletic wanted no more. The Catalans secured second place in the event of a “play-off” and continue to have direct promotion options. To do this yes, they need to beat Murcia, it is difficult and there is no good understanding among the Basques.
