 | The relegated La Coruna played fair and made Fuenlabrada cry8-08-2020 |
The postponed match of the last 42nd round of the Segunda Division between Deportivo La Coruna and Fuenlabrada was finally played, and the hosts achieved a surprising victory with 2:1 and prevented their opponent to qualify for the playoffs for promotion to La Liga. The two teams were scheduled to meet at the Riasor on June 20, but the match was postponed due to several Fuenlabrada players passing positive tests for COVID-19. There were many scandals and tensions between the clubs and the federation, but the match was scheduled for a new date, and Fuenlabrada needed a victory to overtake Elche and fight for the coveted 6th place. The Spanish federation asked for Segunda with 24 teams
For La Coruna, the match was not important because the Galicians had already been relegated. They received an early goal, the work of Pate Sis, but in the 84th minute Claudio Beauvais equalized, and in added time he again scored a penalty and put an end to the dispute. Fuenlabrada remained in 7th place, and the last free quota for La Liga will be contested by Zaragoza, Almeria, Girona and Elche. Huesca and Cadiz deserved a direct promotion.
