Cádiz Crush Leganés 4-0 in Segunda División Eight
Cádiz eased past Leganés 4-0 at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza on Saturday, a result that might suggest a comfortable evening for the hosts but actually tells a different story about how football works. And here's the thing — possession statistics from the match don't capture who really controlled the tempo. Leganés enjoyed 55% of the ball but created nothing meaningful, while Cádiz, with less possession, struck four times.
Antonio Cordero opened the scoring in the sixth minute, a moment that came from quick thinking rather than sustained pressure. He finished what could have been the only chance of the first half, and by then you could sense Leganés were already in trouble. The visitors had more possession but couldn't find their rhythm against a Cádiz side that knew exactly where to be.
The second half began with Leganés making four substitutions in the sixty-first minute, a sign that their plan wasn't working. Vladyslav Kopotun doubled the lead in the fifty-fourth minute before Cordero added his second in the seventy-first. Aimen Moueffek completed the scoring in the eighty-third minute, and that price has gone for any Leganés hopes of a comeback.
The statistics paint an uncomfortable picture for Leganés. They registered 114 attacks compared to Cádiz's 87, but created zero big chances while the hosts produced seven. Nine shots on target for Cádiz against just one for Leganés — that's not bad luck, that's a fundamental failure to create proper opportunities.
What this means for the table is significant. Leganés remain tenth with eleven points from seven games, but this result exposes questions about their attacking threat. Cádiz stay bottom with four points from seven matches, four draws and three losses, but they pulled the strings when it mattered today.
The visitors had won three and drawn twice before this match, but they fell apart after the opener. Cádiz, meanwhile, can spring a surprise — they've drawn four games already this season, and beating a side like Leganés suggests they're closing in on something.
