In a remarkable display of determination, Cabeza Buey claimed a crucial 3-1 victory over Moralo at the Estadio Municipal de Navalmoral de la Mata on October 26, 2025. In a match that showcased the competitive spirit of the Tercera División RFEF - Group 14, Cabeza Buey surged to life in the second half, turning the tide against their hosts after a rather uneventful first period.
The first half saw Moralo open the scoring in the 37th minute, momentarily giving the home crowd a reason to cheer. However, the details of the goal remain elusive, as the scorer's identity was left unreported. This brief lead would be short-lived, as Cabeza Buey, currently sitting at the bottom of the standings, found their footing following the break.
The critical moment arrived just ten minutes into the second half. In the 54th minute, with Moralo leading 1-0, tempers flared as one of their players received a red card, sharply shifting the momentum in favor of Cabeza Buey. The numerical advantage quickly translated to the pitch, as Cabeza Buey found the equalizer just a minute later, further fueling their confidence.
With the momentum firmly in their grasp, Cabeza Buey struck again in the 76th minute to take a 2-1 lead. The details of this goal are similarly shrouded in obscurity, but it served as a defining moment for a team that has struggled to find its rhythm throughout the season. As if to punctuate their resurgence, Cabeza Buey added a third goal in the dying minutes of the match, capping the score at 3-1 and solidifying their hard-fought victory.
Moralo, who came into the match in 9th place with 12 points, had been hoping to build on their recent form, which included a narrow win against Badajoz and a goalless draw at Llerenense. Yet, the home side's inability to maintain composure following the red cards cost them dearly, as they ended the match with ten players after a second red card was issued in the 70th minute.
This result is a significant boost for Cabeza Buey, who, despite their struggles, moved up the table to 13th place with 11 points. A single victory does not erase the difficult start they have endured, but it injects much-needed hope into a team that had previously mustered only one win in seven matches.
Looking forward, Moralo must regroup quickly as they aim to stabilize their season. With their current standing precarious and only a few points separating them from the bottom of the table, the pressure will be on them to reclaim their momentum. Meanwhile, Cabeza Buey will seek to build upon this victory, using their newfound confidence to climb further from the depths of the standings. In a league where every point is critical, the stakes remain high, and both teams will need to harness today's lessons as they head into their next fixtures.
