Intercity earned a gold mark during Atlético Baleares’ visit to the Balearic Stadium. The match grew tense after Eneko Undabarrena was sent off in the 66th minute, forcing the Alicante side to play a full half hour with ten men.
Despite the setback, Intercity held firm, kept a clean sheet, and preserved a one-point gap in the standings. The draw, however, left both teams unfazed by the result as neither could claim a victory; Intercity had not secured a win in five consecutive matches.

The day opened with a tight balance and brief moments where neither side asserted clear dominance. The first real chance appeared in the 11th minute when Dioni tested the goalkeeper, Manu Herrera, with a firm strike. Moments later, the local attack carried more intensity, again seeing Dioni’s shot glide just wide after a slightly deflected attempt. The Balearic offense pressed forward for several minutes, deploying corners and throw-ins that kept the Alicante defense under pressure.
It was at one of those key moments that Cristian Herrera battled a defender from Atlético Baleares, underscoring Intercity’s resolve. The hosts grew into the game, gaining momentum as the 20th minute approached, and maintained a stronger presence on the field, showing improved control and consistency in possession and transition play.
Pastrana came close to giving his team the lead right before halftime, firing wide to the left as the chance slipped away. A calm message from the bench translated into a more purposeful second half, where Intercity showed that their tactical setup could compete with the best moments of the first period and even tilt the balance in their favor.
The game progressed with both teams probing the other’s defense, but Intercity demonstrated a sharper sense of positioning and improved ball circulation. Gustavo Siviero’s squad produced dangerous crosses and sustained pressure in the final third, creating several half chances that tested the opponent’s defensive organization. In the 55th minute, Aarón Piñán delivered a precise corner, and a header from Pol Roigé found a teammate in a dangerous place, only for Lucas Díaz to respond decisively for the Balearic side.
From that point, Intercity intensified their approach, moving the ball between wings and working to compress the space offered by the home side. The balance of play began to tilt in favor of the visitors as the match wore on, with the Alicante team pressing higher and forcing the Balearic defense into uncomfortable moments.
Tragedy struck when Undabarrena, already having an influential presence in the middle, was dismissed for a direct red card late in the period. The sending off altered the dynamic, leaving Intercity with numerical superiority and a clear path to push forward in search of the decisive breakthrough. The psychological edge shifted as the home team faced a new reality with one fewer player on the field.
The Balearic attack sought to capitalize on the momentum created by the red card, but the visitors stood firm, organizing their lines and maintaining discipline in defense. Atlético Baleares continued to push for the net, yet the late moments of the game did not yield a scoring sequence for either side, leaving the scoreboard untouched and the match without goals.
