Lleida CF settled for a 1-1 draw against Cerdanyola FC this Saturday in a match defined by missed opportunities and controversial officiating in Lleida.

The home side took an early lead in the 12th minute when Pau Russo headed home a cross from Revert. However, Russo failed to double the lead before halftime, hitting the crossbar from the penalty spot.
Cerdanyola FC found an equalizer in the 82nd minute following a defensive lapse. Moments later, Totti appeared to have secured the win for the hosts, but his goal was ruled out by the referee, sparking protests from the local side.
The result leaves Cortés' team in the relegation zone. They will look to bounce back next Sunday when they travel to face Montañesa.
