The UD Ibiza continues without finding the way to victory in this 2025 after losing 1-0 against Alcoyano at El Collao, in the framework of the 20th date of the Primera RFEF. A goal by Andrés Rodríguez in the first half was enough for the locals to take the three points in a match in which the sky-blues showed moments of improvement, but without the necessary precision to make their chances come true.
Alcoyano imposes its rhythm in the first half
The home team started the match dominating the pace and forcing Ibiza to maintain their defensive concentration. Although Alcoyano did not generate clear chances at the beginning, they were able to take advantage of one of their most dangerous approaches.
. En el minuto 36, Andrés Rodríguez sorprendió con un disparo que venció al guardameta Germán Belman, poniendo el 1-0 en el marcador.
Ibiza’s response was immediate with tactical adjustments, but they failed to even the score before halftime.
Dominance without reward in the second half
Ibiza came out with a different attitude in the second half, showing greater intensity and ball control. Gallar led several offensive attempts, including a free kick that went near the post.
Despite the changes introduced by Paco Jémez to reinforce the attack, the arrivals did not translate into goals.
The clearest chance came in the last minutes, with a powerful shot by Marc Domènech that goalkeeper Jaume Valens deflected with a great save. On the rebound, Gallar crashed the ball against the post, getting very close to the equalizer.
An immediate challenge at Can Misses
With this new defeat, UD Ibiza remains without points at the beginning of the year and faces an important test in its next match against AD Merida. The match, to be played on Sunday, January 26 at the Palladium Can Misses, will be key to regain confidence and get out of the current bad streak.
