CE L'Hospitalet has confirmed its qualification for the 2nd RFEF promotion play-offs after a goalless draw with UE Cornellà this Sunday at their home stadium.

The team led by Sergio Juste needed just one point to achieve their goal and secured it in a match where their superiority became evident as minutes passed. Despite local dominance, the first half ended without goals, leaving the impression that the team deserved to go into halftime with a lead.
The second half began with a more offensive UE Cornellà, but a chance from Ignasi Quer returned control to CE L'Hospitalet. The expulsion of Moha in the 65th minute added tension to the match, as, paradoxically, the home team found it harder to play with a numerical advantage.
Uncertainty persisted until the final whistle, with unfavorable news from other matches potentially jeopardizing their qualification. Despite some scares from high balls, goalkeeper Aliaga had a relatively quiet day. With the final result, CE L'Hospitalet finishes fifth in the league table.
The first step towards promotion has been taken, and the next challenge will be next Sunday at 12:30 PM, when CE L'Hospitalet will host CF Badalona in the first leg of the play-off's initial round.
