Elche Celebrates Promotion to La Liga After Dominant First Half in Riazor (0-3)

Elche is just 45 minutes away from glory: the long-awaited return to La Liga. The team from Elche has not held back in Riazor. They needed a win and are overwhelming Deportivo de la Coruña. A 0-3 lead at halftime shows a solid and powerful performance that virtually secures promotion for Eder Sarabia's side.

Mourad has ignited euphoria among the thousands of Elche fans watching the match on countless screens throughout the city. Then came the strategic play involving Affengruber and John Chetauya, and before the half-hour mark, Germán Valera completed an outstanding first half.

The team from Elche would return to La Liga two years after their last relegation. After two years in the Segunda División, Bragarnik is set to bring Elche back to the top tier of national football in a project that began with doubts and saw Eder Sarabia nearly dismissed back in October.

However, the team in green and white has gained confidence, played good football, and soared in the second half of the season to return to the elite. Only defeats against Levante and Huesca added uncertainty to the outcome and some doubts, but playing against two teams with nothing at stake like Málaga or Deportivo de la Coruña has paved the way and given them the push needed to return to La Liga.
