CD Azuaga secured a solid 2-0 victory over Montijo in their Spanish Tercera División RFEF fixture on Sunday, September 13, 2026. A goal in each half was enough to see off a stubborn Montijo side at the Estadio Municipal de Azuaga, extending the hosts’ unbeaten start on home soil.

Match Overview

CD Azuaga took the lead in the 23rd minute when David Sánchez pounced on a loose ball inside the box and smashed it into the roof of the net.

The home side doubled their advantage in the 67th minute through Álvaro Pereira, who finished a flowing counter-attack with a low drive into the bottom corner.

Montijo pushed men forward in the final 20 minutes but found the Azuaga backline in uncompromising mood. The visitors’ best opportunity came in the 82nd minute from a free-kick, but the Azuaga goalkeeper produced a smart save to preserve the clean sheet. The win moves CD Azuaga into a promising position in the early Tercera División RFEF Group 14 standings.

Key Moments

• 23' – David Sánchez fires CD Azuaga into the lead.
• 45+2' – Montijo go close from a corner but the header goes wide.
• 67' – Álvaro Pereira doubles the lead with a clinical counter-attack finish.
• 82' – Azuaga goalkeeper makes a crucial save to deny Montijo a lifeline.

Tactical Story

CD Azuaga lined up in a compact 4-4-2, prioritising defensive solidity and quick transitions. Montijo tried to play through the middle but were repeatedly frustrated by the hosts’ disciplined midfield block. Whenever Azuaga won the ball back, they looked to release their pacey wide players, which led to the second goal. Montijo’s manager switched to a back three late on, but the change had little effect as Azuaga comfortably saw out the game.

Standout Players

David Sánchez was a constant menace in the final third and deserved his goal, while Álvaro Pereira showed great composure for the second. In defence, Manuel Ortega was a rock at the heart of the backline, winning numerous aerial duels. For Montijo, goalkeeper Javi Romero made several fine saves to keep the score respectable, but his teammates lacked a cutting edge up front.

Season Impact

CD Azuaga’s victory cements their reputation as a tough team to beat on home turf and keeps them in touch with the early play-off places in Group 14. Montijo, meanwhile, are still searching for consistency and will need to improve their away form if they are to climb the table. The clean sheet is a particular boost for Azuaga, who have now kept two shutouts in their last three matches.
