After the Copa hangover, Orihuela redirected its focus to La Línea, aiming to regain momentum with a string of away fixtures. The visitors displayed an early intent to dominate possession and press high, yet the match quickly tilted toward the hosts as Miguel Cera unleashed a powerful strike that pierced Aitor Arias and opened the scoring early on.

The opening minutes were not kind to the visiting side. Oscar Sanchez faced a relentless barrage, absorbing an early local surge as the home team took control. Orihuela reacted with urgency, launching several dangerous forays: Revilla failed to complete a baseline sequence, and De las Cuevas found a blocking opportunity blocked by Ackermann. Persistence paid for the Vega Baja team as Revilla added pressure, yet a goal by the Cádiz side before halftime decided the momentum of the match.

Orihuela does not see the door
Orihuela began the second half with intent. Jawed’s early move placed Ackermann under pressure, and Revilla came close to converting a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper. The flow of play shifted as Linense began to manage the tempo while Orihuela struggled to penetrate the central areas. The match remained open on the scoreboard, with both sides trading bursts of action without decisive breakthroughs. Rafa’s attempted shot found no net, while Nacho Muñoz and Callejón created moments of danger on the counter. The defining moment came in stoppage time as Olmo contributed the second goal for Linense, sealing a result that reflected Orihuela’s struggle to regain form in the league. This outcome dragged Orihuela deeper into the relegation zone and extended a challenging run of results.
