CF Fuenlabrada faces a critical situation in the league standings, nearing the relegation playoff after a crucial defeat against Quintanar del Rey, intensifying the pressure with only four matches left in the competition.

The recent defeat of CF Fuenlabrada against Quintanar del Rey has plunged the team into deep concern, once again placing them squarely in the battle for survival. Despite a previous victory that offered a brief respite, the setback at the San Marcos field has dashed hopes for a calm end to the season.
Currently, 'Fuenla' occupies the thirteenth position, which would force them into the relegation playoff if the league ended today. The gap with their direct rivals is minimal: Quintanar del Rey is one point behind, Real Madrid C two, and Colonia Moscardó three, underscoring the urgency of accumulating points in the final four matchdays.

"I'm very, very 'screwed' because you know the script of what's going to happen, and what you can't afford is to lose a game from a throw-in when you're playing for the category."

Pablo Nozal · CF Fuenlabrada Coach
Coach Pablo Nozal expressed his frustration over the manner in which Jaime Lorente's decisive goal was scored, fifteen minutes from the end, highlighting his team's lack of concentration. Despite the bitterness, Nozal acknowledged that other teams' results have kept Fuenlabrada in the same position, though he insisted on the need to improve attention and focus.
CF Fuenlabrada's next fixture will be this Sunday at 12:00 PM at the Fernando Torres, where they will host Alcalá, a team in excellent form that has won five of their last six matches. Alcalá, currently seventh, seeks to consolidate its position in the promotion playoff spots, promising an intense encounter for the Fuenlabrada team.
