Elche's Setback at Anduva (3-0)

Elche suffered a clear defeat this Saturday at Anduva against Mirandés in one of the worst performances of Eder Sarabia's team this season.

The team from Elche succumbed to a direct rival in the promotion battle, especially in the second half. Diaby's dismissal for a second yellow card four minutes into the restart hastened the downfall of the Elche side.

Izeta put the Burgos team ahead shortly before the break, and then Argentine Panichelli sealed Elche's fate with a brace, taking advantage of the numerical superiority.

The absence of Yago Santiago due to injury was felt in the green-striped attack. The only positive news was the debut of the new winter signing, Jairo Izquierdo, the player who arrived in recent days from Cartagena.

The Elche team will have the chance to react quickly next Saturday at 2 p.m. against Tenerife, the bottom team of the Second Division, at the Martínez Valero stadium.
