Lorca FC win promotion to LaLiga 1l2l3

Lorca FC won promotion to LaLiga 1l2l3 after beating Albacete in the promotion playoff between two of the four group champions in Segunda B. It is 10 years since a team from the city in the south-eastern province of Murcia had a team in the second tier of Spanish football.

Under coach David Vidal, the Murcians scored a crucial away goal as they drew 1-1 in Albacete in the first leg, Abel Gomez’s 67th-minute strike giving them a slight advantage. In Saturday’s return leg at the Francisco Artes Carrasco the game finished 0-0. 

A rock solid defence, the goals of Matheus and a run of form that saw them lose only seven games during the regular season sealed their promotion to LaLiga1l2l3.
