Cádiz CF began their Segunda División campaign with a narrow 1-0 home victory over CD Mirandés on August 18, 2025. The match, played at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, was decided by a single goal, giving the Andalusian side a perfect start as they aim for an immediate return to Spain's top flight. The match process was tense and tightly contested, with Cádiz controlling possession and territory but finding it difficult to break down a stubborn Mirandés defense. The decisive moment came in the second half, likely from a set-piece or a moment of individual quality, as the home side found the breakthrough. The focus point was Cádiz's defensive solidity, which secured a clean sheet and allowed them to grind out the three points. This win immediately puts Cádiz at the top end of the early Segunda División table, while Mirandés will be disappointed not to have taken at least a point from a disciplined performance. The Cádiz manager would have expressed satisfaction with the result, while the Mirandés coach would have lamented his side's lack of cutting edge in the final third.
