Played at the hosts’ training ground, the match gave both teams valuable minutes in their preseasons and allowed UCAM’s coaching staff to observe players in match conditions ahead of the new season.

Match overview

The friendly followed a familiar script for preseason fixtures: UCAM Murcia controlled possession, while Eldense B looked to remain compact and spring on the counter-attack. The La Liga-based club’s reserve side showed plenty of energy early on, but it was UCAM who created the clearer goal-scoring opportunities.

The breakthrough arrived midway through the first half. Pacy attacking play down the left side created the opening, and a well-placed finish from inside the penalty area sent UCAM into the break with a deserved lead. The goal settled the home side, giving them the platform to build further momentum in the second period.

Second-half control

After the restart, UCAM Murcia continued to dominate territory and possession. They doubled their advantage with a clinical direct move — a sharp delivery from the wing was met at the near post and converted with precision. The 2-0 scoreline reflected the dominance of the home side, though Eldense B also had moments of promise, forcing the UCAM goalkeeper into a couple of solid saves.

The match proved particularly useful as a test of squad depth. UCAM Murcia made a series of substitutions in the second half, giving younger players and trialists the chance to impress. Eldense B likewise gave valuable experience to their emerging academy talents.
