Tactical story

SD Ejea’s game plan was clear: stay compact in midfield, invite Andorra CF forward, and then attack the spaces behind the full-backs. It worked almost perfectly. Ejea’s front three rotated constantly, making it difficult for Andorra’s centre-backs to track runners, and their midfield won the second balls that mattered most.

Andorra CF had spells of possession and created enough to score more than once, but their final pass was often delayed. Ejea’s goalkeeper was solid when called upon, and the visitors’ defensive discipline in the final 15 minutes prevented a nervy finish. The 3-1 scoreline reflects Ejea’s efficiency more than any huge gap in overall play.

Standout players

Dani Suárez set the tone with the opening goal, while Jorge Lambea’s movement and link-up play caused problems all evening. Iván Castillo’s late goal was the reward for a tireless performance on the right. For Andorra CF, Sergio Pérez was the brightest attacking threat and took his goal well.

Standings impact

This away win gives SD Ejea a significant lift in the Tercera División RFEF table and reinforces their reputation as one of the most dangerous travelling sides in the group. Andorra CF remain a competitive outfit, but home defeats in such convincing scorelines can be costly in a race where every point matters.
