📝 Match report

Sabadell, who played from the 52nd minute with a man down following Edgar's red card, secured their fourth victory in LaLiga Hypermotion this Saturday with an away win at Ceuta (1-2), confirming they are the tournament's revelation team with two goals from Ángel Baena. A result that perfectly sums up the state of the Segunda División on this ninth matchday: Sabadell's quality and organisation prevailed over Ceuta's urgency and numerical advantage, although the hosts had their chances to take all three points. The match started with intermittent chances from both sides and a VAR check in the opening minutes to rule out a penalty in Sabadell's favour, but in the 25th minute, a counter-attack led by Quadri Liameed finished with Ángel Baena's finish to open the scoring (0-1). A precise through ball allowed Baena to get behind Carlos Hernández and find himself completely alone in front of Guille Vallejo, finishing calmly and setting the 0-1. José Juan Romero's side managed to overcome the visitors' early dominance and equalised before half-time through a Jordi Escobar goal. Ceuta's response was immediate and balanced a match that seemed to be slipping towards the striped shirts. The second half unfolded with expectations focused on Ceuta following Edgar's expulsion in the 53rd minute, but another Baena goal in the 80th minute ultimately punished a motley crew that proved unable to make their numerical advantage count. In the 79th minute and amid constant local pressure, Sabadell found their reward in a quick attacking move, with Pere Pons setting up Ángel Baena to finish with his right foot beside the left post, sealing the 1-2. Ceuta, desperate for points, attacked repeatedly but found a very organised Sabadell who protected their goal. The reality is that Ferran Costa's side made clear why they're among the best in the table: they don't just have attacking quality, they know how to dig in when needed, even with a man short. Ceuta remain in the lower reaches and continue to pay dearly for their lack of finishing, while Sabadell confirm they're no mirage in this division.
