Ceuta Edge Cadiz in Hard-Fought Segunda División Battle
AD Ceuta FC claimed a crucial 2-1 victory over Cadiz at the Estadio Municipal Alfonso Murube, in a match defined by clinical finishing and determined defending. The hosts took the lead in the 21st minute and doubled their advantage midway through the second half, before Cadiz mounted a late rally with a goal in the 78th minute, setting up a tense finale. Despite Cadiz's efforts, Ceuta held firm to secure all three points. Ceuta enjoyed a slight edge in possession (53%) and were more incisive in attack, registering 8 shots with 3 on target compared to Cadiz's 4 shots and just 1 on target. The match was a physical affair, with both sides racking up fouls (14 for Ceuta, 19 for Cadiz) and a total of six yellow cards issued. Ultimately, Ceuta's ability to capitalize on their chances proved decisive, while Cadiz's late surge fell just short.

Ceuta delivered a composed and efficient performance, making the most of their opportunities in front of goal. Their 4-3-3 formation allowed them to control the midfield for large stretches, and their front three posed a consistent threat. Defensively, they were organized, limiting Cadiz to just a single shot on target. Two yellow cards reflected their willingness to disrupt Cadiz's rhythm when necessary.

Cadiz
Cadiz struggled to assert themselves for much of the match, with their 4-2-3-1 formation failing to generate sustained attacking pressure. They managed just 4 shots and only 1 on target, reflecting their difficulties in breaking down Ceuta's defense. However, a late goal in the 78th minute sparked a spirited finish, though their overall lack of attacking threat and discipline—evidenced by four yellow cards—ultimately cost them.

Tactical Analysis
Ceuta's 4-3-3 setup allowed them to dominate the midfield, with Yann Bodiger and José Campaña orchestrating play and providing a solid platform for attacks. The wide forwards stretched Cadiz's back line, creating spaces that were exploited for both goals. Defensively, Ceuta remained compact, rarely allowing Cadiz's midfielders to find Dawda Camara in dangerous positions. Cadiz's 4-2-3-1 formation struggled to generate width or consistent service to their lone striker. Their double pivot was often overrun, and their attacking midfield trio found little joy against Ceuta's disciplined shape. Substitutions and tactical tweaks late on brought some urgency, resulting in a goal, but it was too little, too late.
Turning Point
Marcos Fernández's goal in the 65th minute gave Ceuta a crucial two-goal cushion, forcing Cadiz to chase the game.
Man of the Match
Aboubacar Bassinga
His early goal set the tone and his tireless work up front kept Cadiz's defense under constant pressure.
