Albacete Balompié lost 0-1 to Eldense in a match that marked a milestone for both teams. Albacete had to face more than an hour with a player less due to the direct red card issued to Ray Marchan. This marked the beginning of a series of events that culminated in the victory for the visiting team.
The match was marked by controversial refereeing decisions, such as the VAR review that led to Marchan's red card and the disappointment of the ten thousand local supporters at Carlos Belmonte. Despite Albacete's efforts to equalize the score, Eldense managed to secure the victory with a goal from Juanto Ortuño in the 82nd minute.
The game featured moments of tension and excitement, with goal-scoring opportunities for both teams. Although Albacete came close to scoring on several occasions, Eldense was able to maintain their lead until the end. The final dismissal of Marchan and the injury to the local goalkeeper influenced the game’s outcome.
Albacete is now in a complicated position in the standings, while Eldense has managed to narrow the gap to just three points behind the home team. With the goal difference in their favor, the visiting team celebrated a victory that brings them closer to escaping the relegation zone. The next round will see Albacete facing Cádiz CF in a new challenge for the home team.
