Outstanding performance
Sabadell•AttackerSabadell blitzed Córdoba early, with Nicholas Gioacchini scoring twice in the first 11 minutes to put the hosts firmly in control despite being outplayed statistically for most of the night. Córdoba dominated possession (65%) and passing (433 to 232, at 80% accuracy), and eventually forced their way back through Cristian Carracedo's penalty and Enol Rodriguez's second-half strike, level at 2-2 by the 76th minute after a flurry of substitutions reshaped the game. But Sabadell's clinical edge told in the end - 20 shots to 13, and crucially converting big moments when they mattered - as a stoppage-time VAR penalty, controversially awarded to Óscar Sanz and converted by Albert Orriols, snatched a dramatic 3-2 win. The result lifts Sabadell's mood after a rocky campaign, while Córdoba will feel hard done by having controlled long stretches of play only to be undone by their profligacy in defending set-pieces and transitions.

Sabadell host struggling Córdoba on Monday night looking to build on a positive start to the campaign, while the Andalusians arrive desperate to arrest an early slide after back-to-back defeats. Fresh off Copa Catalunya glory and deadline-day reinforcements, the hosts look well placed to extend their unbeaten home form.
