Overview
- Sestao River beat Coruxo 2-0 at O Vao with goals from Ander Laka early in the second half and Ander Castillo in stoppage time, securing a clean win on the road.
- Coruxo recorded no shots on target in the first half and struggled to break down Sestao’s compact low block and fast counterattacks, which shaped the game’s flow.
- The Vigo side was hit by an early forced change when Barba left injured before the half hour and then lost Rares to a double-yellow dismissal in the 89th minute, compounding their problems.
- The defeat completes a damaging run of three losses across the week for Coruxo, including a midweek Copa del Rey exit to Zamora and a prior league loss to Amorebieta, which threaten team morale and selection options.
- Sestao’s form across competitions, highlighted by their recent Copa upset of Espanyol, underpins their top-table position and suggests they can press that advantage over upcoming fixtures.
