In a decisive clash at the Polideportivo Municipal de Magaluf on November 2, 2025, Platges Calvià showcased their attacking prowess with a commanding 3-0 victory over Collerense. This win not only solidified Platges' position in the upper half of Group 11 in the Tercera División RFEF but also deepened Collerense's struggles as they continue to search for form.
From the outset, it was clear that Platges Calvià came into this match brimming with confidence. Having won four of their last five matches, including a thrilling 3-2 encounter against Santanyí just a week prior, they were eager to maintain momentum. The home side wasted no time asserting their dominance, scoring their first goal in the seventh minute. While the identity of the scorer remains unknown, it set the tone for what would be an uphill battle for Collerense.
As the game progressed, Platges continued to apply pressure. In the 22nd minute, they struck again, doubling their lead and leaving Collerense reeling. The visitors struggled to find any rhythm throughout the first half and were unable to mount significant threats against a well-organized Platges defense.
Despite entering halftime trailing by two goals, Collerense emerged from the break with renewed determination. However, their efforts were thwarted time and again by a resolute Platges backline that seemed unyielding. The second half saw more of the same as Platges maintained control of possession and dictated play.
The final nail in Collerense's coffin came in the 70th minute when Platges scored their third goal of the match. Again, details about who found the net are unclear, but it was evident that this goal sealed Collerense's fate for the day. With three unanswered goals on the scoreboard, any hopes of a comeback faded quickly.
This result leaves Platges Calvià sitting comfortably in sixth place with 14 points from eight matches-an impressive turnaround after some earlier setbacks this season. Their recent form suggests they are serious contenders for promotion as they look ahead to their next match against Rotlet Molinar on November 8.
Conversely, Collerense finds themselves languishing in fourteenth place with just six points from eight games played-a stark contrast to their ambitions at the start of the season. With only one win so far and having failed to score in multiple matches this campaign, they will need to regroup quickly before facing Mallorca II next week if they hope to turn things around.
Reflecting on my pre-match predictions where I suggested that Collerense might find some magic through veteran striker Alberto Ruiz-who has been one of their few bright spots-I must admit I underestimated how effectively Platges would stifle any offensive threat from them today. It seems my optimism for Collerense was misplaced; instead, it was Platges Calvià who delivered an emphatic statement about their capabilities moving forward.
As both teams prepare for their upcoming fixtures, all eyes will be on whether Collerense can finally break free from this disheartening spell or if Platges Calvià can continue building on this strong performance as they chase higher aspirations within Group 11.
