A late, decisive strike from Ortuño in extra time seals a dramatic comeback for Cartagena, securing all three points at home.
Cartagena emerged victorious over Eibar thanks to a late intervention from Ortuño, anchoring another tense Second Division clash that stretched into stoppage time and left the scoreboard showing a 2-1 triumph for the home side, a result that amplifies the sense of momentum around the team.
Yanis Rahmani, who some reports suggest could be making a move to Málaga, gave Eibar the lead in the 10th minute with a precise finish from close range after a setup by Peru Nolaskoain.
The opening half stayed tight, and after the break Sadiku converted a penalty in the 68th minute to bring the match level. As the clock crept toward the 96th minute, Ortuño struck again, heading home from the heart of the box after a cross from Jairo Izquierdo, completing the comeback and delivering three valuable points for Cartagena.
With the win, Cartagena leapfrogs Eibar in the table, moving onto 28 points while the Basques sit on 27. Both teams remain in the playoff positions, keeping the battle for promotion extremely tight as the season progresses.
