Lebrighana made light work of Ceuta de Junio with a 5-0 victory in the 1/128-finals of the Copa del Rey on Friday evening. The result was about as one-sided as you'd expect when a team comes in with five straight defeats behind them. by then any confidence would have been well and truly eroded.
Ceuta have not won anything since October 2024, and their recent record reads like a cautionary tale. They lost 2-5 to Orihuela, then 2-4 against San Pedro, before three consecutive outings where they failed to score at all. and here's the thing — coming into a cup match like this with that kind of momentum is asking for trouble.
The hosts took full advantage of the opportunity. Five goals away from home in a cup tie tells you everything about the gap between these sides on the day. Ceuta never got going and simply had nothing to offer in attack or defence.
For Lebrighana this is a straightforward progression. They move on to the next round without having to worry about anything beyond what they've already achieved. The margin of victory suggests they were comfortable throughout and could have added to the scoreline if they'd wanted to.
Ceuta's run of defeats stretches back to September 2025 when they went down 1-7 at Alicante. That single result alone paints a picture of a side struggling to find any foothold in their competitions. to be fair they'd been losing before that, but 1-7 is a different matter entirely.
The cup is supposed to provide opportunities for smaller clubs, but Ceuta are currently in no position to take advantage. They need to turn things around quickly if they're going to salvage any sense of purpose from the season.
