Alcoyano came from behind to beat La-Nukia 2:1 in a club friendly on Friday evening. The visitors took the lead when G. Lidon scored in the thirty-seventh minute after R. Gonzalez had given the hosts an early advantage at sixteen.
And here's the thing about this one — La-Nukia started brighter but couldn't hold onto their advantage. They created sixty-seven attacks compared to the visitors' hundred and six, but the extra pressure told. By then the game had shifted.
Z. Yosmel made sure of the result with a sixty-fifth-minute strike. La-Nukia pushed for an equaliser but could only manage two corners against Alcoyano's four. The away side kept their shape and took what they were given.
Both teams finished with fifty per cent possession, though the numbers don't tell the full story. Alcoyano's attack was more dangerous, while La-Nukia's thirty-seven minutes of dominance produced only one goal. It's always like that in friendlies — the table goes out of the window in these games.
There is a bit of history between these sides. Alcoyano beat La-Nukia three-nil on their last meeting in August 2024. The visitors have been inconsistent in 2026 with wins against Liepaya and draws with SS Reyes, but this was a clean result.
