Leganés Seize the Moment, Topple FC Andorra 2-1 in Segunda División Tightrope

In an afternoon brimming with high stakes and fine margins at the Estadi de la FAF, Leganés delivered a statement win, edging promotion-chasing FC Andorra 2-1 behind a flurry of second-half action and nervy late drama.
Despite ceding control of the ball—Leganés finished with just 40% possession and a mere single corner—the visitors proved clinical, capitalizing on their limited chances with a ruthless efficiency that belied their place in the lower reaches of the table. Their breakthrough arrived just three minutes after the interval: Duk split the Andorra backline and fired low past Jesús Owono, silencing the home crowd. The sting was compounded when Naim García doubled the advantage minutes later, capping a swift Leganés counterattack and putting the hosts on the back foot.
FC Andorra, true to their possession-oriented identity, responded by tightening their grip on the game and launching wave after wave of attack—ultimately registering 60% of possession and seven corners. However, for much of the match their dominance yielded little reward, as Juan Soriano and the Leganés defense repelled Andorra’s creative thrusts with composure and resolve.
A glimmer of hope came in the 86th minute. Gael Alonso, charging forward from defense, latched onto a clever ball from Sergio Molina to halve the deficit, setting up a frenetic finale. Andorra poured forward in search of an equalizer, only to see tempers flare and discipline fray. Substitute A. Petxa, in a desperate stoppage-time sequence, earned two yellow cards in just two minutes and was sent off, extinguishing Andorra’s final hopes of snatching a point.
For Leganés, the victory was as much about resilience as execution. Seydouba Cisse anchored the midfield, while Marvel and Ignasi Miquel marshaled the back line with authority. Duk’s opener and García’s clinical finish were decisive, but the visitors’ collective commitment—reflected in their nine fouls and three yellow cards—set the tone for a gritty road win.
The defeat leaves FC Andorra, third in the table at kickoff, ruing missed opportunities and frustrated by a resolute opponent who needed only brief spells of ascendancy to tilt the contest their way. For Leganés, the result injects new life into their campaign, providing momentum and belief as they seek to climb the standings.
