“Josep Cerdà gave FC Andorra the lead against the run of recent play, converting to make it 1-0 after Deportivo had created several half-chances in the preceding minutes but failed to find the net.”
Pivotal“Mario Soriano levelled for Deportivo just three minutes into the second half, restoring parity almost immediately after the restart and swinging the emotional momentum back towards the home side.”
Pivotal“A flare-up between players from both sides saw both Diego Alende and Mario Soriano booked for arguing, injecting ill-temper into the game and forcing Deportivo's hand with substitutions just minutes later.”
“Substitute Zakaria Eddahchouri, on the pitch for just five minutes, struck the winner to put Deportivo 2-1 ahead — a clinical finish that vindicated the coaching staff's decision to reshape the attack in the final quarter.”

Deportivo La Coruña
FC Andorra
Deportivo La Coruña came from behind to beat FC Andorra 2-1 at home, grinding out a result that their overall attacking output arguably deserved despite spending most of the game chasing the ball. Andorra dominated possession heavily — 66% to Deportivo's 34% — and took the lead through Josep Cerdà in the 34th minute after a spell of Deportivo pressure had been repelled. The home side hit back immediately after the break through Mario Soriano, and the match deteriorated into a tetchy, card-littered affair in the 60s before Deportivo's bench proved decisive. Zakaria Eddahchouri, introduced in the 76th minute, struck the winner five minutes later to cap a turnaround built on Deportivo's clinical edge — five big chances created to Andorra's one, with the hosts converting twice despite their territorial deficit. For Andorra, it is a deeply frustrating afternoon; they were the better possession team but wasteful when it mattered, while Deportivo's directness and bench depth proved the difference in a third-place La Liga 2 clash with real promotion implications.
