Albacete Balompié has sealed its permanence in Segunda División after a crucial narrow victory against FC Andorra. This result allows the Manchego club to secure its continuity in the category, while the Andorran team sees its chances of reaching the playoffs vanish. The match, played in a decisive final stretch of the season, reflected the struggle for both clubs' objectives.

The encounter saw Albacete withstand pressure and capitalize on Andorra's sole defensive error to claim all three points. Despite the home side's dominance in possession and chances, the Andorrans' lack of effectiveness was key. Both teams' game plans were executed precisely in the first half, although both squandered clear scoring opportunities.

Albacete's clearest chance in the first half fell to Jefté, who, half an hour into the game, shot wide with an almost open goal after an assist from Álex Rubio. This play exemplified Alba's strategy: sending balls behind Andorra's advanced center-backs for Rubio to run into space and finish the play.

For its part, FC Andorra, true to its style, dominated play and possession, but this time with a more vertical intent. Although Albacete defended well against crosses, the hosts' inside combinations created more problems. Marc Cardona, starting after scoring in the previous two rounds, was the most active in attack, coming close to scoring on several occasions alongside Akman and Villahermosa, but without creating real danger. Goalkeeper Owono was also a protagonist in some actions.

The second half offered fewer chances. Andorra monopolized the ball but lacked ideas to break down Albacete's defense. The Manchego side, meanwhile, focused on defending orderly, no longer finding answers in long balls. The hosts' suffocating high press prevented Albacete from generating more offensive play, but the Albacete team's defense remained solid until the end.

With this victory, Albacete Balompié achieves its main objective for the season, securing its place in Segunda División for the next campaign. For FC Andorra, this result marks the end of their playoff aspirations, closing a season with a bittersweet taste.
