LEGANÉS (EFE). Leganés were proclaimed LaLiga Hypermotion champions and achieved their second promotion in history to LaLiga EA Sports, four years after falling from the elite, after beating Elche at home (2-0) on the last day; giving rise to a party that was almost certain before the opening whistle.
The fact that it was enough for the host to draw or lose if Eibar did not beat Oviedo made a happy outcome much easier. But we did not have to wait too long for both conditions to begin to take shape since after five minutes the Asturians took the lead 416 kilometers away and after ten it was Leganés who scored.
Good pressure from Seydouba Cissé on Nico Castro in the center of the field made it easy for him to lose control of the ball and leave it at the feet of Miguel de la Fuente. The forward started with fury and made it 1-0 with a powerful shot from the crescent against which Matías Dituro could do nothing.
From there the clash cooled down. The knee injury to Pedro Bigas, who had to be taken off on a stretcher after a collision with Miguel, and the overwhelming dominance of possession by the Elche team, who also threatened with a header from Rodrigo Mendoza that went wide near the post; They lowered the soufflé.
That was until the first half added time when a backheel from Mourad Daoudi was captured by Darko Brasanac in the midfield. It was the dawn of a counterattack started by Yvan Neyou, continued on the left wing by Miguel de la Fuente, and certified with a pass to the front towards Cissé and an assist from him to Juan Cruz so that he comfortably scored 2-0.
At that point, the essential thing had already been achieved. But the icing on the cake remained, finishing first in the table, something they had not achieved in the only promotion to date and for which they had made ample merit during the campaign by occupying the lead for 29 days. That award also became real when Valladolid, already promoted, fell behind in their clash against Tenerife shortly after returning from the locker room and ended their match losing 2-1.
The rest was letting the minutes pass and savoring the glory without giving up the tributes. They were received during their substitutions by the authors of the two goals and also by Seydouba Cissé, the goalkeeper Diego Conde and Yvan Neyou; but also the coach Borja Jiménez. The ‘a Primera’ and ‘champions, champions’ were also sung.
In the end, excessive joy after forty-two days of suffering and a lot of order, with the fans respecting the rule of not jumping onto the field of play, but not giving up celebrating another milestone in the memory of a club that has been dreaming for years. in big.
