In a decisive showdown in the Tercera División RFEF - Group 17, Cuarte powered through to a commanding 3-0 victory over Binéfar on November 2, 2025. The match, held at an undisclosed venue, saw Cuarte extend their unbeaten streak to eight games while pulling within striking distance of the top position in the group.
Right from the start, Cuarte displayed a firm grip on the match. They opened the scoring in just the ninth minute when one of their players found the net. A quick burst of energy set the tone for what was to come, leaving Binéfar scrambling to regain control and frustrate their opponents' confidence.
Despite being in fourth place prior to this match and experiencing back-to-back defeats leading into this game, Binéfar had hoped to reclaim some momentum. However, they struggled with offensive output once again. Just as I had predicted in my pre-match preview that Javi Hernández might be their shining light against a sturdy Cuarte defense, he and his teammates were unable to convert any chances into goals as frustration mounted among them.
Turning point moments continued to favor Cuarte throughout the match. In the second half, they doubled their lead with another goal in the 69th minute - further suffocating any hope that Binéfar had of making a comeback. The visitors showed impressive resilience in maintaining pressure and exploiting openings whenever Binéfar pushed forward.
The final nail in Binéfar's coffin came just six minutes before time when Cuarte struck again. Scoring three goals away from home not only emphasized their attacking prowess but also solidified their position as serious contenders in Group 17. With this win, Cuarte climbed to second place on 16 points, mere steps behind current leaders after having gone unbeaten across eight matches (four wins and four draws).
For Binéfar, this defeat comes as yet another blow amidst an already tumultuous season characterized by inconsistency. Holding onto fourth place with only 15 points from eight matches (five wins and three losses), they are left needing answers ahead of their next fixture against Huesca II on November 9.
The impact of this match ripples out beyond just points; it speaks volumes about each team's trajectory for the rest of the season. Cuarte must now harness this momentum as they prepare for another challenging matchup against Caspe on November 8 - looking not just for victory but for confirmation of their title aspirations.
Reflecting upon my earlier predictions where I suggested conditions could favor Binéfar if Hernández stepped up: I have clearly miscalculated how well Cuarte would perform today. Instead of an upset brewing under my hopeful eye, it was Cuarte who delivered a professional display that reminds us all how unpredictable-and thrilling-football can be.
As both teams leave this encounter behind them, it is clear that stakes remain high moving forward. For Binéfar, reclaiming form has become imperative; for Cuarte, building upon today's success could define their ambitions well into springtime. The unfolding narrative will undoubtedly capture fans' attention as we look toward upcoming battles on these gritty pitches where dreams continue to be chased passionately by youthful hearts and determined athletes alike.
