Los emeritenses fail to secure a fourth straight win after a disappointing loss to a stronger opponent

Coria halts Mérida’s grey streak

Match details

Mérida lineup: Adrián Csenterics; Hugo Carrillo (Salguero, 75′), Nacho González, Barbu (Jay, 85′), Hugo Sanz; Martín Solar, Jota López (Carlos Doncel, 64′), Javier Areso; Dibrani (Beneit, 64′), Koné and Sofiane (Hallsson, 85′).

Coria lineup: Javi Garrido; Álex Blanco, Iñaki León, Calleja, Domínguez, Jacobo; Llorente, Alber Moreno (Sergio Gómez, 69′), Gallastegi (Aimar Santiago, 85′); Palacín (Morcillo, 80′) and Iván Ramos (Álex Toper, 69′).

Match report: contested at Estadio Romano‑José Fouto before 4,022 fans.

Referee: De Santisteban Adame, average. Yellow cards to Mérida’s Nacho González, Barbú; visitor cards to Palacín, Blanco, Gallastegi, Jacobo, Jaime Calleja.

Mérida fell into doubt in a lackluster regional derby as Coria grew into the game, dominating the second half despite a muted attack and over‑confidence against a fading side.

A penalty for the visitors was annulled after a VAR check. Earlier, Nacho’s strike hit the post, capping a dull first‑half for Fran Beltrán’s side, which seemed almost invisible against a fast‑moving Coria that deployed three centre‑backs to blunt Koné.

The visitors, in their debut season, proved they can match any opponent in order, courage and ball play, but Mérida’s fans were left with a sour taste after missing a fourth straight win.
