Overview
- Córdoba missed a late chance to win when Jacobo’s penalty crashed off the crossbar, capping a low-quality draw at Butarque.
- Paco López was dismissed after the Copa del Rey exit to Albacete and reserve-team coach Igor Oca took over on an interim basis with minimal preparation time.
- Leganés’ back line was severely depleted by suspensions to Marvel and Duk, a ban for Diawara, and injuries to Rubén Pulido and Rubén Peña.
- Córdoba welcomed back Rubén Alves, Carracedo and Dani Requena, while Théo Zidane was sidelined with muscle issues; Alves also headed against the woodwork as Iker Álvarez impressed in goal.
- The point leaves Córdoba around mid-table in 11th on 22 points in a tightly packed standings, with both the playoff places and the drop zone within three points.
