Return of Alcoyano as leader (2-1)
Alcoyano remains at the forefront of Group 2 in the First RFEF after a dramatic late victory that reinforced their momentum. The team is confirmed as a solid defensive unit under Vicente Parras and Fernando Estévez, having conceded just three goals across six rounds. Their position atop the table is supported by a decisive performance that kept the unbeaten streak intact and highlighted their capacity to close tight games. The win near the end of the match against a Balearic rival underscored Alcoyano’s current form and strategic resilience.
Alcoyano’s leadership in the early weeks of the season helped ease financial pressure on the club. The possibility of a strategic asset sale to inject liquidity had loomed, but the club’s performance on the pitch offered stability that made such a move less urgent for the moment.
Sporting director José Luis González had warned that reserves could deplete within a few months, while coach Vicente Parras noted that the sporting results energized every level of the organization. He acknowledged that the timing of successes was crucial in balancing the business and sporting aspects of the club. After a 0-1 setback to Atletico Baleares, Alcoyano bounced back with a 2-1 victory, becoming the solo leader with a three-point cushion over second-placed Eldense.
Capó and Diego González celebrated one of the goals against Nàstic, highlighting the offensive contribution that complemented Alcoyano’s sturdy defense.
In another match, Deportivo Eldense’s 2-1 win over Gimnàstic de Tarragona at the Nuevo Pepico Amat placed Eldense in an advantageous second position in Group 2, as Alicante fell 0-1 in the 87th minute. With thirteen of eighteen points earned thus far, Eldense trailed the leader by three points.
The victory also marked the end of a defensive run for Eldense, who had not conceded in more than four hundred minutes under coach Guille Vallejo. The team now prepares for their next challenge away at Sabadell in the upcoming weekend.
This Eldense believes until the end (2-1)
Intercity has faced a troubling spell with back-to-back losses that have not occurred in over a year. The setback against Hércules and Murcia left them short of promotion to the Second Division after matchday six in Group 2 of the First RFEF. The club’s trajectory has been described as a roller coaster by coach Gustavo Siviero after a month of competition that featured three defeats in six games, a harsher contrast to their recent form where only four losses came in nine months prior. Promotion remains the objective, but points have slipped, including defeats to Real Murcia, SD Logroñés, and Cornellà.
Two home defeats at the Antonio Solana stadium intensified concerns for Intercity, who slipped to seventh in the standings. The club’s broader challenge is to regain rhythm and consistency while navigating the financial and competitive pressures typical of a mid-table team in this league.
