Inter d'Escaldes Crush FC Ordino 4-0 to Lead Andorran League by One Point

Inter d'Escaldes took a significant step towards defending their Andorran football league title with a convincing 4-0 victory over FC Ordino in the Multisegur Assegurances League. The reigning champions now lead UE Santa Coloma by one point with just three matchdays remaining, putting them on the verge of mathematical qualification.

Goals from Pedra and Borja Arellano in the first half set the tone for Inter's dominance, with Arellano adding a second and Álex Aizpuru sealing the win from the penalty spot late on. The result came after UE Santa Coloma had briefly closed the gap earlier, beating Penya Encarnada 2-0 through strikes from Miguel López and Gonçalo Borges.

In other key results, FC Santa Coloma strengthened their hold on third place—a further four points behind the leaders—with a 4-0 thrashing of bottom side Esperança. Guillaume Lopez scored twice, alongside goals from Yenerey and Iñigo Barrenechea. Ranger's, chasing a European spot, suffered a late 2-1 defeat to Carroi, where Steeven opened the scoring before Cisteró and Benjamín turned the game around in the final minutes, the winner arriving in the 97th.

Inter coach Felip Ortiz now eyes next Saturday's clash with Ranger's at 7:30pm, aware of the concurrent derby between UE Santa Coloma (under Iñaki Alonso) and FC Santa Coloma (led by Víctor Vázquez). A win for Inter combined with a loss for their rivals would secure the title and a UEFA Champions League preliminary round berth outright.

The Escaldes side, heavily revamped from last season, also chase the Copa Constitució Valira Seguretat trophy. They face Atlètic Club d'Escaldes in the semi-finals on April 30, with both teams eyeing European qualification. Standout performer Borja Arellano has netted 14 goals in 17 games, supported by Faysal Chouaib and former Barcelona youth product Juan Cámara, each with six.
