Orihuela faced a tough spell that eventually left its mark as the clock moved into the second half, a moment that shifted the rhythm of the game in favor of Sevilla Atlético, who were playing their first season in the second RFEF. The home team began with strong energy, but Sevilla’s control gradually increased, balancing the ball more often and pressing the pace. Aitor Arias stood tall in goal, making an outstanding save to deny Isaac Romero in the early attack, turning a potential breakthrough into a defensive milestone for Orihuela.
As the action moved toward Orihuela’s box, the locals, helped by Ayo, created a sharp first chance that tested the defense. Juanmi Callejón fired from an elevated position, and his effort skimmed past Alberto but still left his team chasing the opener. David Sánchez’s squad finished the opening period with a visible edge in ball possession in the visitors’ half, yet they failed to convert that pressure into a decisive lead.
When the second half began, Sevilla Atlético introduced DANA into the match, and what followed felt like a storm that disrupted all of Orihuela’s planning from the first half within the first five minutes. Moses found a seam to beat the resilient Aitor Arias, and Sevilla’s forward line, led by Hormigo and Isaac Romero, quickly magnified the visitors’ early advantage. The momentum swung decisively toward the away team as Romero added a second quick strike, doubling the score and signaling a difficult stretch for Orihuela to recover from.
For the Alicante club, rising off the canvas proved challenging. Three goals in succession left them staring at a widening gap, forcing their players to search for a response while risking counterattacks. Orihuela did manage to create a late opportunity when Mpie found space to set up a potential comeback, but Isa López’s side clinched the win with a counterattack where Isaac Romero curled home his second special finish. Ayo’s acrobatic attempt late in the game brought some renewed life, but the scoreline stood and Sevilla Atlético secured all three points at Los Arcos.
