The La Mancha side clinched another win, extending their run to five matches, thanks to precise finishes from Mesa and Alcedo.
Albacete Balompié celebrated a second victory in a row, delighting their supporters with a 2-1 win over Racing Santander. The visitors pressed hard, even as the clock wore on and the hosts fought through a stretch with one more man on the field. Maikel Mesa popped up to fire La Mancha ahead by collecting a loose ball in the visitors’ box, but Iñigo Vicente equalized soon after the break by capitalizing on a costly clearance error by Julio Alonso.
Racing’s joy was short-lived as Fausto Atienza received a second yellow for a late midfield challenge on Olaetxea, boosting Albacete’s momentum. The home side seized the initiative and found the decisive goal through a superb volley by José María Alcedo, delivered from a cross by Julio Alonso. Aldasoro joined the card count with a stoppage-time booking following a hard challenge on Higinio, and the visitors levelled the score late through Unai Medina, only for Altube to intercept the equalizer in the dying seconds.
