International Club Friendly – Pre‑Season
Date: 16 July 2026 | Kick‑off: 01:30 (local)

Match Overview

La Liga side Cadiz CF delivered a pre‑season masterclass, thrashing local lower‑league outfit Barbate CF 7‑0 in a one‑sided friendly. The game, played at the Estadio Municipal de Barbate, saw Cadiz’s senior and youth players alike run riot against a team from the División de Honor Andaluza.

Relentless Attack

Cadiz took only four minutes to open the scoring, with Chris Ramos tapping in after a defensive mix‑up. The floodgates opened after that: Álex Fernández made it 2‑0 in the 18th minute with a curling free‑kick, and Rubén Sobrino added a third on the half‑hour mark. By half‑time, Cadiz led 4‑0 after Brian Ocampo headed in from a corner.

Second‑Half Rout

Manager Sergio González made several changes at the break, but the intensity did not drop. Substitute Ivan Alejo scored twice in the space of ten minutes (54′, 63′), and young midfielder Tomás Alarcón completed the demolition with a powerful strike from distance in the 78th minute. Barbate failed to register a single shot on target.

Key Talking Points

• Chris Ramos – Two goals and an assist, staking his claim for a starting spot in the new season.
• Ivan Alejo – Impact substitute with a double, showcasing his finishing ability.
• Barbate CF – Despite the heavy defeat, the experience of facing top‑tier opposition will be valuable for their upcoming campaign.

Pre‑Season Progress

Cadiz’s emphatic win builds momentum ahead of their La Liga opener against Real Sociedad. They face Algesiras and Córdoba in further friendlies next week. Barbate will look to regroup as they prepare for their own league season in the Andalusian fifth tier.
