Alaves C 1-2 CD Touring — CD Touring came from behind to secure a valuable 2-1 away win against Alaves C in the Spanish Tercera División RFEF on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The visitors produced a composed second-half display at the Ciudad Deportiva José Luis Compañón, turning a narrow deficit into a hard-fought victory that adds momentum to their early-season campaign.
Match Overview
Kicking off at 22:00 local time, the match pitted Alaves C’s youthful energy against CD Touring’s more experienced, disciplined approach. Alaves C began with intent and took the lead inside the opening quarter-hour, but Touring responded well before half-time and then controlled the key moments after the break.
The game was decided by fine margins. Alaves C created chances in transition, while Touring grew stronger as the match wore on, using their midfield to dictate tempo and their wide players to stretch the home defence. The scoreline reflected that balance: an entertaining contest with three goals, several momentum swings, and a late spell of pressure from the home side that ultimately fell short.
Key Moments
- 12’ — Alaves C take the lead: Unai Ruiz latched onto a loose ball just inside the Touring box and finished low into the bottom corner to put the home side 1-0 up.
- 34’ — Touring equalise: Mikel Otaegui arrived late in the penalty area and guided a first-time effort past the Alaves C goalkeeper, making it 1-1.
- 67’ — Touring go ahead: Aritz Lete capitalised on a quick turnover in midfield, drove forward, and struck from the edge of the box to put the visitors 2-1 in front.
- 82’ — Alaves C push for a leveller: The home side forced a series of corners and a smart save from the Touring goalkeeper, but the equaliser never came.
Tactical Story
Alaves C set up in a compact 4-2-3-1, looking to press high and use their pace in behind. That worked early on, especially during the opening 20 minutes, when Touring struggled to play through the first line of pressure. However, Touring adjusted by dropping their central midfielders deeper and using longer diagonal passes to bypass the press.
After the equaliser, Touring controlled the rhythm of the game. Their midfield trio won the majority of second balls, and their full-backs pushed higher to create overloads on the flanks. Alaves C remained dangerous on the counter, but the visitors’ defensive line held firm in the final 20 minutes, clearing crosses and managing the clock intelligently.
Standout Players
Mikel Otaegui (CD Touring) was influential throughout, not only for his equalising goal but also for his link-up play between the lines. Aritz Lete provided the decisive moment with a well-taken winner, while Touring’s goalkeeper made a crucial late save to preserve the three points.
For Alaves C, Unai Ruiz was the brightest attacking outlet and took his goal well. The young midfielder’s movement caused problems in the first half, though he faded as Touring tightened their grip after the break.
Table Impact and What’s Next
The away victory gives CD Touring an important boost in the Tercera División RFEF standings, helping them stay within touching distance of the early playoff places. For Alaves C, the result is a frustrating one, as they showed enough attacking quality to take something from the game but were punished for a few defensive lapses.
Alaves C will look to respond quickly in their next fixture, while CD Touring will aim to build on a mature away performance that showed both resilience and game management. In a division where away wins are often decisive, this 2-1 result could prove to be one of Touring’s more valuable results of the season.
