UE Santa Coloma surges to first place with 35 points on goal difference ahead of Inter Escaldes, who drew

UE Santa Coloma has reclaimed the top spot in the Andorra Primera Divisió standings with 35 points after a 1-0 victory over FC Ordino, moving ahead of Inter Escaldes on goal difference despite matching points. Inter have a game in hand. Ranger's remain third on 26 points, ahead of FC Santa Coloma on 25 and Atlètic Escaldes on 23. L'Esperança prop up the table with two points, nine adrift of safety.

In Sunday's key fixture at Ordino's ground, Iñaki Alonso's side took the lead in the fifth minute through Èric De Pablos—known as Depa—and held firm for a clean sheet against Cristian Barea's team, securing provisional leadership after Inter's draw.

Round 17 kicked off Saturday evening at Borda Mateu's training centre, where Dani Luque's Atlètic Escaldes thrashed Carroi 4-1 following their midweek derby loss. Rodrigo Piloto opened the scoring before the 10-minute mark, Domi Berlanga added one before halftime and another late on, and Jordi Alàez also netted. Goalkeeper Marinovich's straight red allowed Dylan Traoré a consolation goal, forcing a goalkeeper rotation for Atlètic's next match.

Sunday continued with Penya Encarnada's 1-0 win over struggling L'Esperança. Javier García, or Javi, scored just after halftime in the 47th minute. L'Esperança ended with 10 men following Miquel del Castillo's direct red but failed to respond.

The round wrapped up at Estadi Nacional, where Felip Ortiz's Inter Escaldes and Víctor Vázquez's FC Santa Coloma fought out a 1-1 draw. Sergio Rodríguez's 57th-minute own goal from Juan Cámara's cross gave the hosts the lead, only for Yenerey Betancor to level nine minutes later in a tense finish. The result handed the initiative to Santa Coloma and kept the title race tight.
