The team led by Jordi Cortés started the match with good rhythm, dominating the initial plays, but as minutes passed, Cornellà gradually gained ground. The home side created several dangerous opportunities until Gerard González opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, capitalizing on a poor defensive clearance from Lleida after a cross.
In the second half, Lleida showed a better performance, adjusting their tactics and pressing with more intensity. This improvement paid off in the 64th minute when Sasha recovered the ball and launched a rapid counterattack. Following an assist from Jorge Revert, Sasha struck into the top corner, scoring an equalizer.
However, the final stretch of the match was particularly difficult for Lleida. Fatigue took its toll on the players, and the substitutions made by Cortés failed to reverse the situation. With some players in unfamiliar positions due to injuries and suspensions, and facing an effective Cornellà attack, the Segrià team conceded the second goal in the 87th minute. Another cross was headed in by Manel Lozano inside the small box, securing the three points for the Barcelona-based team.
“"It's very tough, especially for all the people who accompany us, who always support the team and understand the situation."
This defeat represents a significant blow to Lleida's morale, as their league position becomes more challenging. The team is now focused on their next home fixture, scheduled for Sunday, April 12, at 5 PM against San Cristóbal.
