Mijas Las Lagunas vs Martos Match Recap - Dec 6, 2025

Mijas Las Lagunas Dominates Martos 4-1, Solidifying Their Title Aspirations

Mijas Las Lagunas showcased their title credentials with a commanding 4-1 victory over Martos, further extending their lead at the top of the Tercera División RFEF Group 9. This match marked another chapter in Mijas' impressive run, now boasting eight wins from twelve matches, while Martos remains mired in relegation concerns with only two victories to their name.

Mijas' recent form has been nothing short of spectacular. They entered this match on a four-game winning streak, including a decisive 4-0 thrashing of Churriana Vega. The attacking prowess displayed by Benítez and Ariza has been pivotal, with both players consistently finding the net. Benítez's ability to convert chances has been a key factor in Mijas' success, and he continued to be a threat against Martos, contributing to the scoreline.

Martos, on the other hand, has struggled significantly in recent weeks. With only two wins in their last twelve matches, they have become increasingly desperate for points. Their inability to score consistently has been alarming; they managed just six goals across those twelve games. The pressure was palpable as they faced a Mijas side that has been relentless in attack and solid in defense.

The contrast in team dynamics was evident throughout the match. Mijas dominated possession, averaging around 57% in recent games, while Martos struggled to maintain control, often falling below 45%. This disparity allowed Mijas to dictate the pace and flow of the game, capitalizing on Martos' defensive lapses. The expected goals (xG) figures further highlighted this trend, with Mijas comfortably exceeding two xG per game compared to Martos' struggles to reach one.

Azarkan opened the scoring for Mijas, continuing his impressive form that has seen him become a crucial part of their attacking setup. His goal not only set the tone for the match but also underscored Mijas' confidence and ability to capitalize on early opportunities. Following his lead, Mijas maintained pressure on Martos, who failed to respond effectively.

Martos managed to find a consolation goal through their own efforts, but it was too little, too late. Their defensive frailties were exposed repeatedly, leading to multiple scoring opportunities for Mijas. The lack of cohesion in Martos' backline was evident as they struggled to contain Mijas' relentless attacking waves.

The result leaves Mijas firmly in control of Group 9, while Martos faces an uphill battle to escape the relegation zone. With their next match against Motril looming, Martos must regroup quickly if they hope to turn their fortunes around. The pressure is mounting as they seek to convert draws into victories and find a way to score more consistently.

Reflecting on my earlier predictions, I anticipated a strong performance from Mijas based on their recent form and attacking capabilities. They delivered exactly that, proving once again that they are serious contenders for promotion. Meanwhile, Martos' struggles were evident as they failed to rise to the occasion against a formidable opponent.

Mijas Las Lagunas' victory not only solidifies their position at the top but also sends a clear message to the rest of the league: they are not just contenders; they are a force to be reckoned with. As they prepare for their next fixture against UD Melilla II, all eyes will be on them to see if they can maintain this momentum and continue their impressive run.
