Late Del Cura Strike Seals Comeback Win for Mirandes Over Valladolid
Mirandes staged a stirring late comeback to edge out Valladolid 2-1 at the Estadio Municipal de Anduva, with Unax del Cura's 84th-minute winner capping a spirited second-half display. Valladolid had taken the lead midway through the first half, but the hosts responded with goals on the stroke of half-time and in the closing stages to claim all three points in this tightly contested Segunda División clash. The visitors struck first in the 23rd minute, capitalizing on an early spell of pressure. Mirandes, however, grew into the game, dominating possession (52%) and creating more chances (15 shots, 7 on target). Their persistence paid off just before the break, leveling the score at 1-1. In a tense second half, both sides pressed for a winner, but it was Del Cura who delivered, sending the home fans into raptures with his late goal. Despite Valladolid's efforts, including 13 shots and 4 on target, they couldn't find a way past Juan Palomares in the Mirandes goal.
Mirandes
Mirandes showed resilience and attacking intent, overcoming an early deficit to claim a deserved victory. Their 4-2-3-1 formation allowed them to control the midfield and create sustained pressure, as evidenced by their superior shot count and possession. The hosts were particularly effective down the flanks, winning eight corners and forcing Valladolid onto the back foot in the second half. Key players stepped up at crucial moments, with Unax del Cura providing the decisive finish and the midfield quartet dictating the tempo. Defensively, Mirandes limited Valladolid's clear chances and kept their composure after conceding first.
