In a dramatic encounter in the Spanish Segunda División RFEF on 26 April 2026, CD Tudelano fell 1–2 at home to Alaves B. The match, played in Tudela, saw the visitors come from behind to claim a crucial away victory, adding another twist to the league’s competitive narrative.

Tudelano started brightly and took the lead inside the first half hour. A swift counter-attack caught the Alaves B defence off guard, and the home side’s forward finished calmly to make it 1–0. The goal seemed to settle Tudelano, who controlled possession and looked comfortable against a young but spirited Alaves B side.

Second-Half Turnaround

However, the second half belonged entirely to the visitors. Alaves B emerged with renewed intensity, pressing higher and winning midfield duels. Their equaliser came after a period of sustained pressure, when a low cross from the left was turned in at the near post. The goal visibly deflated Tudelano, who struggled to regain their rhythm.

Alaves B then completed the comeback with a well-executed set piece. A corner kick was met by a towering header that nestled in the top corner, leaving the Tudelano goalkeeper with no chance. The 2–1 lead was fully deserved on the balance of play.

Match Analysis

• Alaves B’s resilience – The young side showed character to overturn a first-half deficit on the road.

League Implications

For CD Tudelano, this defeat was a bitter pill to swallow, particularly after leading. They will need to address their second-half lapses to remain competitive in the Segunda División RFEF. Alaves B, meanwhile, will take immense confidence from this performance, showing that they can grind out results even when trailing. The 2025–26 season in this division continues to reward teams that show grit and tactical flexibility.
