Atletico Sanluqueno delivered a commanding performance to beat FC Cartagena 3-0 in the Spanish Primera División RFEF on Sunday, September 28, 2025. This comprehensive home win at the Estadio El Palmar solidified Sanluqueno's position as a strong contender in Group 2. The hosts were dominant from the outset, opening the scoring in the 25th minute with a precise low shot from the edge of the box. They doubled their lead just before halftime through a header from a corner, leaving Cartagena with a mountain to climb. Any hope of a comeback was extinguished early in the second half when Sanluqueno added a third from a swift counter-attack. Cartagena, a side recently relegated from the second division, offered little in response as Sanluqueno controlled the tempo to see out a clean sheet and a statement victory.
