UE Santa Coloma Beats FC Ordino 2-1, Cuts Gap to Leaders Inter to Three Points

UE Santa Coloma defeats FC Ordino 2-1 to close gap on league leaders Inter Club d'Escaldes to three points in Multisegur League's final round.

Inter Club d'Escaldes, holding 41 points at the top, rested during the opening matches of the third and final round, giving rivals a chance to respond. Second-placed UE Santa Coloma capitalised with a hard-fought 2-1 home win over FC Ordino. Pablo Margallo put the hosts ahead in the 19th minute, and Francisco Jesús Molina—also referred to as Fran Molina or Fran Pérez in reports—extended the lead in the 60th. José Afonso Freitas pulled one back for Ordino in the 79th, sparking late pressure, but Santa Coloma defended their advantage to reach 38 points.

Third-placed Ranger's could not capitalise on Inter's bye, settling for a 1-1 draw at CF Esperança de la Massana. Marc Rebés headed Ranger's into the lead early—sources cite the seventh minute—with a strong effort, but Esteban Nikiema—also named Erwinn Esteban Nikiema—levelled via a free kick that deflected off the wall and into the net past goalkeeper Raúl Gudiño. Ranger's dominated the closing stages under Luis Blanco but failed to break through.

Fourth-placed FC Santa Coloma strengthened their push for a Europe spot with a 3-0 home rout of Atlètic Club d'Escaldes. Moisés San Nicolás scored first in the 26th minute, Álvaro Álvarez made it 2-0 in the 74th—some accounts attribute it to an own goal—and Yénerey Betancor added a third in the 92nd. Atlètic finished with 10 men after Pablo Jáquez's late red card.

Penya Encarnada and FC Carroi played out a scrappy 0-0 draw, defined by robust defending, frequent substitutions, multiple yellow cards, and few clear chances.

With nine matches remaining—including crucial direct clashes—the title race stays tight despite Inter's pre-round six-point edge. Full updated standings are pending release.
