Merry Christmas for Andorra

Andorra will close the year with a smile after defeating Amorebieta with authority at the Estadi Nacional. Lautaro de León was the great player of the afternoon: he scored the first goal, his seventh of the season, and assisted Josep Cerdà for the second.

The first big chance of the game came on a long pass from Bomba, which left Álvaro Martín one-on-one with Marino, but the playmaker missed with a weak shot. Minutes later, Lauti broke the deadlock after winning the ball back in the opponent’s field, turned with class and beat the Basque goalkeeper with a tight shot against the far post.

The goal did not deter Andorra, who continued to press high. Álvaro Peña tried his luck from the front, though to no avail, while Amorebieta had their best chance in a five-on-three counterattack that Selma defined by hitting the post. 1-0 at half-time reflected the dominance of the locals, but kept the rivalry open.

In the second half, Andorra came out determined to close out the game. Lauti, unstoppable because of his speed, left Calavera and helped Cerdà, who accurately scored on the penalty spot (2-0). The Uruguayan could have extended the lead with a header, but Marino was helpful. The tricolors tried hard to find the third. Álvaro Martín ran at Marino and Almpanis sent the rebound over the crossbar. In defense, Oier neutralized the attempts of Amorebieta, who did not have their day in front of the goal, so that the duel ended in a victory that allowed Andorra to recover the sensations.

Maroan, in great form, decided for Barakaldo

A double from Marouan, the ‘Pichichi’ of the group, gave Barakaldo victory over Osasuna Promesas. And things couldn’t have started better for the factories as in the first minute, a cross from Pablo was headed into the back of the net by Marouan. Before the break, Baraka managed to increase the lead with options for Ekaitz, Oier and Marouan, the latter twice. After the break, Osasuna equalized with a shot from Arguibide that Pedernales slightly deflected into his own goal. And a few minutes later, a penalty to Marouan made it 2-1. A. Mena

Sestao River has more drive and manages to win

Sestao River was a very complete match. The green and black were fairly loaned three points against a Celta Fortuna who were beaten and helpless against the local push. After it was worth it for a few minutes, Asier Córdoba, with a huge left foot shot, opened the scoring for some locals who pressed and ran into the unspeakable. The second action was a tug of war and goalkeeper Iago Herrerín had to make an appearance in some light blue options. But in the end Sergi García, after a great run, calmed down and achieved a triumph like glory in Las Llanas. Adolfo Mena

Goal scorer Davo was once again decisive for Segoviana

La Gimnástica defeated Lugo and completed a historic 2024 without defeat at La Albuera. The locals came in powerfully but ended up struggling against a Lugo who deserved more and left empty-handed. Midway through the first act, the Fernán-Davo connection builds the Segovian goal. A service from the left side was finished by the scorer to give more confidence to a brave Gimnástica. The men of Lugo tried to respond to an option by Cuéllar which was caught by Héctor Oliva. After the break, Jon Ceberio and Perero put the Segovian defense in trouble knowing how to secure the result. Jose Duro

Zamora grows in the 2nd
Arenteiro was divided and defeated

Zamora had a disastrous first half against Arenteiro but managed to keep the score at zero. Coach Juan Sabas called for intensity at half-time and the players showed another side, so Arenteiro could not hold the ball and dominated the first 45 minutes. The first goal was scored by Carlos Gutiérrez with a shot from a corner taken by Kike Márquez who scored the second from a penalty. The third was the gift of Joel Priego, who returned to play and ran into midfield to poke Diego García’s frame. Sofia Revenge

Real Sociedad B took the match out of extra time

The three points were earned by Real Sociedad B in a very competitive match against an Ourense team that stood on the colts, sitting in second place.

In the first 45 minutes the spotlight was shared between the two teams. The subsidiary came into the game more plugged in. So the colts took an early lead through Rupérez following Dani Díaz’s pass and a few minutes later they had a chance to extend their lead. Carmona awarded a penalty to Mikel Goti, who took it upon himself to take it even though Marqueta avoided the txuriurdin’s goal. After the maximum penalty, the Galician team woke up from their lethargy and continued to attack but did not find the goal.

Already in the second half, Ourense came out with a shot in search of an equaliser, which ended up with a penalty which Fullana managed to convert. With the minutes ticking by, and the changes from the bench to liven up the match, the Galician team dominated the field against a Real B with flashes of danger and finally took the lead with a goal from Eder in extra time time.

A Vaseline from Manu Justo brings joy back to ‘Cultu’

Cultural Leonesa took the three points from Stadium Gal and achieved victory on this field seven years later, in a match that did not have much of a game and was really conditioned by the state of the grass. There were almost no chances in the first 45 minutes, with only one shot on goal from the Leon team, while the border team did not put Bañuz in much trouble either. Already in the second half, Raúl Llona’s men controlled the game and settled for a solo goal from Manu Justo who took Vaseline out of his hat to beat Wright. Andrea Manzano
