Fuenlabrada will not play play-off of promotion to First Division for the first time in its history. The Madrid team, the epicenter of a sports-health controversy that has been raging for 19 days, lost yesterday in A Coruña (2-1) against a Deportivo already relegated. Those of José Ramón Sandoval, who with a draw were enough to reach the goal and faced the game with only seven professionals in the lineup, suffered a painful comeback. They dominated the first half, but in the second they gave way to end up ruining their hopes in front of an almost evicted rival. In fact, in Riazor, the markers reflected the position of a Depor solely focused on defending its interests off the field. “This party is not fair,” it read.
Pathé Ciss, after a bad rejection of Jovanovic in a play of strategy, advanced the Fuenlabrada in the first half. In the second, Beauvue, by double game, placed the final 2-1. Elche will play the promotion promotion, where they will face Zaragoza.
Zaragoza does not want to concentrate
On the pitch, the regular season of the Second Division ended yesterday, but in the offices he will still be alive because there is a case open to ordinary justice against Fuenlabrada, the League and Javier Tebas. This route, more than the remote idea of expanding the category to 24 teams, is the last hope that Depor has not to go down to Second B, where it has not played for a bunch of years. If the courts condemn the negligence of the people of Madrid, the Galicians could be saved from relegation through administrative channels and it would be Fuenlabrada who would lose his place to play in a Second B which, on the other hand, could not resume in September because the RFEF is not optimistic about the evolution of the pandemic in the state.
Meanwhile, the League has recommended to teams playing the play-off of promotion to Primera that are confined to avoid contagions that would further delay the outcome of the competition. Girona, the only team currently facing the net promotion of positives and controversies, has accepted the employer’s proposal and has concentrated on La Vinya. On the other hand, Zaragoza, which has lost its best player -Suárez- because Watford has claimed it, has been opposed to being confined because it believes that the measure conflicts with the players’ collective agreement. On the other hand, Almeria, Girona’s rival, returned to work yesterday without the two players affected by the virus and, for now, without further cases, as the PCRs carried out in the last hours have been negative.
