CD Leganés and SD Huesca played out a goalless draw this Monday at the Municipal de Butarque stadium, in a match corresponding to matchday 40 of LaLiga Hypermotion.

The match, characterized by parity and few clear chances, ended in a draw that favors the home side's aspirations. CD Leganés managed to break their negative streak of four consecutive defeats, reaching 43 points in the overall standings.
During the game, the hosts came close to opening the scoring in the 75th minute, but the goal was disallowed by the referee due to a previous handball. Meanwhile, the visiting team increased their pressure in the final minutes, forcing a notable save from the home goalkeeper following a shot from the edge of the box.

"We went for the win, but their five-man defense and time-wasting tactics meant they managed it well. We were very close to achieving the goal, we maintain the distance, and we will have to keep going to secure it in Cádiz."
