“Lucas Pérez broke the deadlock early, giving Cádiz the perfect platform and forcing Leganés to chase the game from the opening exchanges.”
Pivotal“A fiery end to the first half as Yussi Diarra and Rubén Peña were both shown yellow cards for an argument, setting a fractious tone that would carry into the second period.”
“José Antonio de la Rosa doubled Cádiz's lead with a goal that killed the contest, sending a Leganés side that had dominated possession but created nothing into a tailspin — he was booked moments later in his celebration.”
Pivotal“Antoñito Cordero put the seal on an emphatic victory, converting after substitute Dawda Camara — himself booked just two minutes earlier — had entered the fray, capping a dominant second-half performance from Cádiz.”
Pivotal“A wave of late yellow cards — Sergio Ortuño, Óscar Plano, Diego García and David Gil all booked between the 86th and 90th minutes — underlined the ill-tempered collapse of Leganés as the match slipped beyond them.”

Outstanding performance
Cádiz•GoalkeeperCádiz made light work of a Leganés side that controlled possession without ever truly threatening, turning a measured first-half lead into a comfortable three-goal victory through smart second-half play. Lucas Pérez's early seventh-minute strike set the tone, and despite Leganés enjoying 58% of the ball and more dangerous attacks on paper, they created zero big chances — a damning indictment of their inability to convert pressure into real threat. Cádiz, by contrast, were ruthlessly clinical, converting three of their three big chances created. José Antonio de la Rosa's 69th-minute goal broke Leganés' spirit, and Antoñito Cordero added gloss with a third in the 81st minute as the visitors disintegrated, collecting five yellow cards in the final quarter of an hour. For Cádiz, this result strengthens their standing and rewards a disciplined defensive structure that held firm against sustained if toothless possession football; for Leganés, it is a chastening afternoon that raises real questions about their cutting edge when it matters.
