“With Andorra already down to ten men, Martí Vilà compounded their misery by turning the ball into his own net, gifting Ceuta a lead they had no right to expect after barely touching the ball in the opening stages.”
Pivotal“Aboubacar Bassinga put the result beyond any doubt, finishing calmly to make it 0-2 and extinguish whatever faint hopes Andorra's numerical disadvantage had kept alive for sixty-five grinding minutes.”
Pivotal“A volatile final ten minutes saw cards distributed freely — Jesús Owono booked for an argument and Josema for a foul in the same minute, part of a six-card avalanche between the 76th and 90th minutes that reflected the frustration boiling over in both camps.”
FC Andorra
Ceuta
FC Andorra were undone almost entirely by their own doing. Within nine minutes they had a man sent off following Álex Petxarroman's red card, and three minutes later Martí Vilà turned the ball into his own net to hand Ceuta an unlikely lead. Despite playing the majority of the match a man down, Andorra dominated possession — finishing with 52% of the ball, 11 shots to Ceuta's four, and 57 dangerous attacks to their opponents' 36 — yet converted almost none of it, managing just two shots on target across the full 90 minutes. Ceuta's approach was ruthlessly pragmatic: absorb, stay compact, and strike when the opportunity arose. Aboubacar Bassinga's 66th-minute finish put the result beyond doubt, and though the closing stages dissolved into a booking-fest — six yellow cards arriving after the 76th minute — Ceuta held firm to claim all three points on the road. For Andorra, sitting 13th in La Liga 2, it was a damaging afternoon that illustrated the fragility of their season: territorial dominance meaning nothing when decisions go wrong and the final ball is absent.
