Intercity remains unbeaten as it edges toward promotion
Intercity did not manage to grab an early lead in their 0-0 draw against Real Murcia, a result that left the Alicante club still chasing a spot in the playoffs. The team had started the season with a draw at Antonio Solana on the 13th matchday, then found the back of the net once more on the following game. That early stretch set the tone for a season defined by resilience and steady progress.
Since late September, the side has stretched an eight-game unbeaten run, a sequence that helped coach Alejandro Sandroni lift the club into a position of interest within the promotion zone. In those two months, Intercity picked up important results against Melilla (2-1), Ibiza (3-1), Atlético Sanluqueño (1-0), and Algeciras (1-0). Each victory underscored a growing belief inside the locker room that the team could challenge for a higher finish.
Intercity completed the eighth matchday without defeat
In addition to the wins, the team also added four draws: against Atlético de Madrid B (0-0), Antequera (1-1), Atlético Baleares (0-0), and Real Murcia (0-0). With these outcomes, Intercity has collected a total of 22 points, placing them in seventh position in the table. The gap to the promotion slot is currently three points behind Málaga, which sits in third, while the same distance to Algeciras marks the current pace for the pursuit of top-flight ambitions.
Looking back at two seasons ago in the Second Federation, Intercity already demonstrated the capacity to endure long unbeaten stretches. The current campaign echoes that resilience, as the team aims to convert this momentum into a sustained challenge for promotion. The club’s trajectory this year reflects a deliberate build, focusing on a solid defense, disciplined midfield control, and decisive finishing when chances arise.
Fans and officials alike have noted the consistency in results, especially the ability to neutralize opponents in tight matches. The defensive shape has held firm against a range of attacking threats, while attackers have found a rhythm that makes them dangerous in transition and in set-piece situations. The balance between structure and intent has become a defining feature of Intercity’s approach as the season progresses.
As the calendar moves forward, the team remains mindful of the need to keep points coming, maintain concentration during the closing phases of matches, and pressure the leading pack without letting complacency creep in. The coaching staff continues to reinforce a philosophy of careful preparation, smart rotation when necessary, and a willingness to grind out results when the tempo of play requires it. The squad’s depth is being tested in a positive way, with players stepping up when called upon to deliver high-intensity performances across different competitions and fixtures.
In the broader context of Intercity’s development, the club is positioning itself as a sturdy contender within the promotion race. The unbeaten run has become a foundation for confidence, and the next set of fixtures will offer a clearer view of the club’s capacity to climb the table. Supporters remain hopeful that the momentum can translate into tangible rewards, potentially unlocking a direct route to higher levels of competition in the near future.
