CD Guarnizo 0–0 Club Deportivo Tropezon | Spanish Tercera Federación – Group 3 (Play‑Off)
May 18, 2026 – A tense and largely forgettable play‑off encounter between CD Guarnizo and Club Deportivo Tropezon ended goalless at the Estadio El Regino, leaving the tie finely poised ahead of the second leg.
Match Overview
Both teams appeared nervous in this promotion play‑off first leg, with clear‑cut chances at a premium. CD Guarnizo, playing at home, tried to seize the initiative but lacked creativity in the final third. Tropezon, content with a draw, defended deep and looked to counter, but their own attacking moves broke down with regularity.
Key Moments
- 25th minute: Guarnizo’s midfielder Jorge Sanz unleashed a dipping shot from 25 yards that forced a sharp save from Tropezon keeper Álvaro Ruiz.
- 54th minute: Tropezon’s best chance saw striker David López latch onto a through ball, but his lob sailed just wide of the far post.
- 78th minute: A flurry of corners for Guarnizo produced two headed efforts, both blocked on the line by Tropezon defender Iker Valverde.
Standout Performers
Álvaro Ruiz in the Tropezon goal kept a clean sheet with a series of solid stops, while Guarnizo’s centre‑back Marcos Alonso made a crucial goal‑line clearance early in the second half.
Season Impact
The 0‑0 result means everything is still to play for in the return leg at Tropezon’s home ground. With away goals not used in this play‑off format, both sides will see the second leg as a cup final – the winner advancing toward promotion to the Segunda Federación.
