Cenicero 1-1 CD Varea
Tercera División RFEF | 6 September 2026

The La Rioja derby between Cenicero and CD Varea finished all square as the two local rivals played out a tense 1-1 draw at a lively ground in Cenicero. The result left both sets of supporters with mixed feelings, but there was no denying the competitive edge on show in a match that featured passion, heavy challenges and no shortage of attacking intent. Cenicero started brightly and looked dangerous in the opening exchanges. Their pressing game forced CD Varea into several early errors, and it came as little surprise when the home side took the lead shortly before the break. A well-delivered corner caused chaos in the Varea penalty area, and striker Jorge Campo was quickest to react, poking the ball home from close range to send the home crowd into celebration. The response from CD Varea after half-time was immediate and determined. Accustomed to being among the strongest teams in the Tercera División RFEF, the visitors increased their tempo and started to dominate possession. They tested the Cenicero goalkeeper with several efforts, but found it difficult to break down a well-organised home defence that seemed content to protect their narrow advantage. Varea’s pressure finally paid off in the 68th minute. Forward Adrián Salazar collected the ball on the edge of the box, shifted it onto his right foot and drilled an accurate strike into the far corner. It was a moment of individual quality worthy of deciding any tight encounter, and it breathed new life into a contest that had threatened to slip away from the visitors. Talking points:

The closing stages were frantic. CD Varea pushed for a winning goal and enjoyed the bulk of territorial advantage, but Cenicero refused to buckle and even carved out a couple of chances on the counter-attack. In the end, a draw was perhaps a fair reflection of an evenly matched derby in which both teams demonstrated why they will be difficult opponents for the rest of the season. For a club with Varea’s ambitions, dropping points in a derby may feel like an opportunity missed, but their response in the second half showed plenty of character. Cenicero, meanwhile, will take great encouragement from matching a strong rival and will back themselves to pick up more positive results as the season develops.
