Eldense’s high tempo returns to the field with renewed intensity
The return to professional football for Eldense has been marked by strong momentum. After a visit to Zaragoza, the team closed the opening three days with eight goals scored and four conceded. The forward strategy showed 50 percent efficiency, earning a place in the league’s leading roster. At La Romareda, shots from the three clubs continued to advance but often lacked decisive precision. For the first time this season, the team went ten games without a goal, creating clear opportunities in the process. Florin Andone seemed to drift out of the match, which ended in a goalless draw.
Eldense secures a loan for goalkeeper Álvaro Aceves and signs winger Miguelón Llambrich
Estévez’s Eldense remained tied across nine outings. When the field was left without a celebratory goal for the final time on Sunday, it marked the end of a stretch. On match day 36, against Numancia in Soria, a point was earned, though a trophy remained elusive for the undefeated Segunda Division leaders. All matches had shown resilience, and in the last clash, a chance arose to seize the title through two rebounds that nullified the solid defensive work of the Alicante squad.

Barça’s strength also lies in the robust tactical enforcement of its protection system at the home stadium, a stability not seen in more than a year and a half. Estevez continues to oversee a side that won two home games and endured two defeats away, never overwhelmed in those losses and keeping hope alive to level the score.

Juanto Ortuño tied for Castilla from the final stages of the campaign
The promotion narrative featured the hero who, after five matches, did not celebrate a goal until the final and the opening days of the season.
In another Sunday highlight, LaLiga’s leading venue Hypermotion hosted events unfamiliar to the athletes. Since the final with Castilla,Juanto Ortuno had been a focal point in the capital’s top doings. Years later, he delivered the goal that sealed promotion to the Second Division and earned three league points in Cartagena. His side bridged the gap to Villarreal and contributed to Alicante’s victory over Eibar along with one of two decisive strikes. Day three is set to mark the debut at the team’s renovated stadium scheduled for next Monday, September 11, with a 21.00 kickoff on Movistar Plus. Alcorcón, a well-known rival in the division, will visit, continuing a storied rivalry.
Deportivo’s chances of recording a win against Real Zaragoza goalie Cristian Álvarez remained notable.
Continuing in the spotlight with former teammate Manu Nieto, now with Andorra, Juanto did not back down at La Romareda. He maintained a determined stance in the lead-up and had two chances to keep his scoring run alive.
Despite a vigorous push into professional football, the club has shown a clear aim for lasting presence. Reaching fifty points soon would solidify a project that began with cautious investments and culminated in the late arrival of the young Real Valladolid goalkeeper Álvaro Aceves. The international with Red in all subcategories and right back of Benidorm Miguelón Llambrich was announced by Espanyol just before the summer window closed. He will compete for a spot in the starting eleven, a task made tougher by Toni Abad’s return to the fold, while the former Alcoyano defender already has two assists on record.
