CF Igualada will compete in the Liga Élite promotion final after overcoming Turó de la Peira in a semi-final match held in Barcelona.

The Igualada team achieved a 1-1 draw at Turó de la Peira's ground, which, combined with their 2-1 victory in the first leg at Les Comes, allows them to contend for the championship title.
The match was characterized by intensity and the small dimensions of the home pitch. The Barcelona team adopted a direct playing style to try and overturn the tie, but Igualada's defense managed to withstand the initial attacks.
After a goalless first half, Turó de la Peira took the lead in the 48th minute, leveling the aggregate score. This goal spurred the home team on and heightened the match's tension.
Igualada responded with determination, hitting the woodwork three times. Finally, in the 73rd minute, Baldeh scored from a corner, making it 1-1 and securing the overall advantage for the visitors.
With the score tied, the final minutes saw Igualada focus on defense, successfully managing the opponent's pressure to confirm their qualification.
Igualada's opponent in the final will be Viladecans. The first leg will be played next Saturday at Les Comes, and the return match will take place on the weekend of June 13th and 14th.
