A Much-Needed Win Puts Real Zaragoza in Mid-Table After Matchday 2 of Primera RFEF

The second matchday of Primera Federación ended on Sunday, with Real Zaragoza gaining some breathing room after an 'in extremis' win over Antequera (1-0), thanks to Edu Espiau's stoppage-time goal. The three points allowed the team to move clear of the relegation places, where it had appeared stuck since last season.

The win at Ibercaja Estadio helps Ibai Gómez's side move away from danger and climb to 12th place with three points. The relegation zone is two points away, with Europa currently occupying the spot, while the playoff places are just one point ahead and direct promotion is three points away, with Real Murcia leading the table.

On the next matchday, Real Zaragoza will visit Juventud de Torremolinos, who have collected just one point, in a game that will be far from easy given what has been seen in the opening two rounds. It should also serve to confirm whether the Aragonese side can genuinely challenge near the top of the table.

HUESCA AND TERUEL

S.D. Huesca, meanwhile, sit in eighth place with four points after drawing 2-2 with Real Jaén, while C.D. Teruel are in the relegation zone following a heavy 4-0 defeat to Real Murcia. They remain on one point and occupy 17th place.

Real Murcia occupy top spot, while the promotion playoff places are completed by Villarreal B, Real Jaén, Atlético Madrileño and Cartagena. In addition to Teruel, the other teams in danger of relegation are Europa, Rayo Majadahonda, Algeciras and Hércules, who are bottom of the table.
