Galapagar suffered another defeat at their home stadium, El Chopo, against Alcorcón B by 0-2, worsening their league position and placing them in the dreaded 13th spot, with a risk of relegation to Autonómica.

The home team struggled to find their rhythm during the first half, showing difficulties in creating dangerous opportunities in the opponent's goal. Alcorcón B's solid defense limited Galapagar's offensive options, as they were outplayed in ball circulation in the opposing half.
The first goal of the match came seven minutes before halftime, when a visiting player finished a good play from the left flank, putting the score at 0-1 and forcing Galapagar to rethink their strategy for the second half.
Despite substitutions and a promising start to the second half, with a clear first chance and increased attacking energy, the team failed to convert their opportunities. The lack of precision and creativity prevented their approaches from becoming a real threat, leaving the impression that a goal would not come.
With time running out and Alcorcón B exploiting the spaces, the expulsion of a home player for a stomp further complicated the situation. Shortly after, a running shot that went in close to the post sealed the match with a definitive 0-2. Galapagar tried to react with desperate changes, but the opponent's solidity prevented any comeback.
This defeat, their third consecutive at home, leaves Galapagar in a critical situation, forced to play three "finals" in the upcoming matches to secure their permanence in Tercera RFEF for the sixth consecutive season. The next match will be on Sunday at Vereda de Ganapanes against Unión Adarve.
