📝 Match report

Celades' Cádiz put in a brilliant performance against a toothless Leganés, securing their first victory of the season with a crushing 4-0 that got the yellow shirts back onside with their fans. The match kicked off three minutes late due to the visiting team's kit issue, according to referee Alejandro Morilla Turrión's report. An unusual incident that set the tone for an encounter where, from minute one, the Cádiz side imposed their authority on opponents who never found an answer defensively.

The opening blow came too quickly: Antoñito Cordero put the home side ahead in the fifth minute with a low drive that left Luca Zidane with no time to react. El Nuevo Mirandilla went wild with their start, relentless in their intensity, sharp in the final third and battling with a concentration that barely allowed defensive slip-ups. Leganés managed to stay in the game throughout the first half, not creating a flood of chances but gaining some presence in enemy territory. Halftime came with Cádiz leading 1-0, but everything would change drastically after the break.

The visitors came out of the interval still breathing, but conceded three goals in barely half an hour and gradually faded from the contest. Luca blocked a Vladys shot in the 52nd minute to keep it at 1-0. The second soon followed: Kopotun extended the lead in the 54th, Cordero grabbed his brace in the 71st and Moueffek sealed the rout in the 83rd. In the 60th minute, Rubén Albés made four changes trying to shake things up, bringing on Pulido, Dani Rodríguez, Zico and Unax. Changes that came far too late to stop the collapse.

Moueffek capped off a stunning team move to make it 4-0 with a finish inside the box—the sort of dream debut any footballer would write for themselves. Albert Celades claimed his first win of the campaign with Cordero's brace, a Vladys goal and another from Moueffek. The hammering confirms Leganés still have a long way to go before finding defensive solidity, while Cádiz, under their Spanish boss, are starting to unleash their attacking prowess with a ferocity that left their visitors frozen. A result that draws a line under a difficult start for the home side and leaves the Madrid outfit reeling midway through a season that promised so much more.
