The Bajocinco team lost 2-0 in an open game, with chances for both teams, but in which the greater accuracy of the home team stood out.
Ontiñena 's Copa Diputación run came to an end after a 2-0 defeat at the Municipal Stadium of Altorricón . The match was an attractive, hard-fought affair, more balanced than the final scoreline suggests. The home side capitalized on their opportunities, striking at crucial moments and effectively defending their lead against a higher-division opponent who pressed for the win until the final whistle.
The match started at a fast pace, with both teams trying to impose their game plan. Altorricón threatened first with a shot from Solanilla that forced Jorge Infantes into action. Gradually, the home side found space and eventually opened the scoring thanks to a move down the right flank: Damián delivered the cross and Coulibaly was there to make it 1-0.
The goal didn't take Ontiñena out of the game . Quite the opposite, in fact. The visitors reacted with two clear chances in quick succession, but they ran into Carlos Bret, who kept Altorricón in the game during one of the most delicate moments of the first half. The team from El Balsal kept pressing and came close to an equalizer before the hydration break, but without success.
The 2-0 score before halftime sealed the tie.
After that period of intense pressure from the visitors, Altorricón adjusted their tactics and settled into a more organized approach, waiting for their opportunity to counter-attack quickly. The decisive moment came just before halftime, when Joel Sanz led a counter-attack and surprised the defense with a shot that beat Infantes. The 2-0 scoreline put the tie firmly in the home side's favor and proved particularly tough for Ontiñena, who had created enough chances to close the gap.
In the second half, the script didn't change much. Ontiñena stepped up their game, pressed high up the pitch, and tried to get back into the match. Altorricón, for their part, defended resolutely and looked to exploit the spaces left by the visitors. Both goalkeepers were kept busy again and prevented the score from changing.
As the minutes ticked by, Ontiñena took more risks in search of a goal to reopen the game , but they couldn't find a way past Bret. Altorricón even had a few chances to extend their lead, but the score remained 2-0.
The victory allows Altorricón to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Diputación Cup . Ontiñena, despite competing for long periods and having chances to change the course of the tie, are eliminated from the competition due to the home side's greater finishing in the decisive moments.
