In a dramatic conclusion that echoed the tension of a tightly contested rivalry, Conil secured a vital 2-0 victory over Chiclana at the Estadio Municipal Jose António Pérez Ureba on November 2, 2025. The match, part of the Tercera División RFEF - Group 10, saw both teams battling for crucial points as they navigated their respective seasons.
As the clock ticked into stoppage time, Conil's players found their moment of glory. In an unexpected twist, two goals were scored in quick succession during the 90+3 minute mark. While details about the scorers remain unclear, what is certain is that these late strikes sealed a much-needed win for Conil and sent Chiclana home empty-handed.
Leading up to this match, Conil had shown signs of resurgence after a shaky start to the season. With two wins in their last three outings, including a convincing 2-0 triumph against Tomares just days prior, they entered this fixture with renewed confidence. Striker Marco Ramos had been instrumental in their recent success, showcasing his ability to find the back of the net when it mattered most.
On the other hand, Chiclana was struggling to maintain momentum. After earning only one point from their last two matches and suffering a disappointing loss to Atlético Central, they needed a strong performance to regain their footing in the league. Despite flashes of brilliance earlier in the season-such as their solid victory over Ciudad de Lucena-their recent form left fans anxious about their prospects.
From kickoff, it was clear that both teams were eager to assert themselves. Conil adopted an aggressive approach, pressing high and looking for openings in Chiclana's defense. Meanwhile, Chiclana seemed more cautious initially but aimed to strike on counterattacks whenever possible. The first half ended without any goals but set the stage for an intense second half filled with opportunities and near misses.
As fatigue began to set in during the latter stages of the match, both sides pushed hard for that elusive goal. However, it was Conil who ultimately capitalized on their chances when it mattered most. With two goals coming so late in the game, it felt like poetic justice for a team that had fought hard throughout.
This result has significant implications for both teams' standings within Group 10. With this victory, Conil climbs up from 12th place to gain some breathing room with 11 points from nine matches played (3W-2D-4L). Conversely, Chiclana remains just ahead at 11th place with 12 points (3W-3D-3L), but will need to regroup quickly if they hope to avoid slipping further down the table.
Looking ahead, Conil will face Córdoba II next week while Chiclana prepares for another challenge against Tomares. Both teams have much at stake; Conil aims to build on this momentum and push toward mid-table respectability while Chiclana seeks redemption after this setback.
Reflecting on my pre-match predictions feels like taking a stroll through memory lane-I anticipated a close contest leaning slightly towards Conil due to home advantage and current form momentum. While I got that part right with Conil emerging victorious, I certainly did not foresee such an explosive finish! As we move forward into November's fixtures, one thing is clear: every point counts in this fiercely competitive league where fortunes can change in an instant.
