In a commanding display at Estadio La Planilla, Calahorra overwhelmed Autol with a decisive 4-0 victory on November 2, 2025. This match marked a significant turnaround for Calahorra, who had struggled in recent weeks and were eager to regain their momentum in the Tercera División RFEF - Group 16.
The first half ended without any goals, but it was clear that Calahorra was the more dominant side. They controlled possession and created several chances, yet they could not find the back of the net before halftime. The tension built as fans wondered if their team could convert this pressure into goals.
The breakthrough finally came just five minutes into the second half when an unknown player from Calahorra found the net in the 50th minute. This goal ignited a flurry of activity from the home side, who seemed rejuvenated by their lead. With newfound confidence, they pressed forward relentlessly.
In quick succession, Calahorra added three more goals to their tally: another strike in the 67th minute followed by goals in the 74th and 85th minutes. Each goal showcased Calahorra's attacking prowess and highlighted Autol's defensive vulnerabilities. The visitors struggled to contain their opponents throughout the match, unable to mount any serious threats of their own.
This result is particularly crucial for Calahorra, who now sit in eighth place with 12 points after eight matches played (3 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses). After a disappointing loss to Berceo last week, this victory serves as a much-needed boost for their confidence as they look ahead to their next match against Peña Balsamaiso on November 9.
On the other hand, Autol remains firmly entrenched in trouble at six points and sits in sixteenth place after suffering yet another defeat. With only two wins out of eight matches (2 wins and 6 losses), they are desperately searching for answers as they prepare for their upcoming clash against Villegas on November 9. Their defensive frailties were once again exposed today; having conceded four goals will surely raise concerns about how they can tighten up before facing another tough opponent.
Reflecting on my pre-match preview where I suggested that Calahorra needed to step up offensively while Autol might exploit gaps through counter-attacks-well, it seems I underestimated Calahorra's ability to dominate play entirely. They not only controlled possession but also executed their game plan effectively against an Autol side that failed to respond adequately.
As both teams move forward from this encounter, Calahorra will aim to build on this momentum while Autol must regroup quickly if they hope to avoid further slipping down the standings. The stakes are high as each team seeks vital points in what has already proven to be a competitive season in Group 16.
