The matchday proved to be exceptionally positive for CD Leganés. Despite conceding an early goal against Albacete before halftime, the team displayed a remarkable comeback in the second half. Goals from Álex Millán in the 47th minute and Juan Cruz in the 64th minute sealed a turnaround that earned the 'pepineros' three golden points.
This triumph gains even greater significance considering that Leganés was the only team among the bottom nine in the league to secure all available points. While clubs such as Zaragoza, Cultural Leonesa, and Cádiz lost their respective matches, others like Real Sociedad B, Huesca, Valladolid, and Mirandés could only manage a draw.
“"This is about doing things well, reversing situations, and achieving comebacks, something we couldn't do before. To be calm, you have to score points yourself and others have to stop scoring, all without forgetting that it's not over yet."
The most comforting outcome of this prolific matchday for Leganés is the establishment of an eight-point lead over the relegation zone. This margin provides a reassuring cushion, especially when compared to the tight situation in previous weeks and with only seven games left in the championship. Although the initial goal of promotion playoffs is no longer feasible, staying in the division appears to be firmly on track.
“"In the first half, we weren't good, but at halftime, we told each other things as they were, and in the second half, we came out very well and managed to turn the game around. We spoke clearly, the coach helped us, we corrected our intensity, and all of that helped us turn it around."
