Late Drama as Deportivo La Coruña Stun Ceuta with Last-Gasp Winner
Deportivo La Coruña snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory over AD Ceuta FC at the Estadio Municipal Alfonso Murube, with a stoppage-time winner capping a fiercely contested Segunda División encounter. Ceuta took an early lead through Kialy Abdoul Kone in the 15th minute, capitalizing on a bright start and their slight edge in possession. However, Deportivo responded swiftly, leveling the score just eleven minutes later, and the match remained finely poised throughout. Both sides matched each other for intensity, with Ceuta firing 18 shots (5 on target) to Deportivo's 11 (also 5 on target), but it was the visitors who showed greater composure in the dying moments. Despite Ceuta’s attacking intent in their 4-3-3 setup, Deportivo’s resilience and tactical tweaks paid dividends, culminating in a decisive goal in the 90th minute to seal all three points.
