One goal. Álex Millán. Leganés won.
That is the summary. Everything else is context.
Leganés came into Sunday 16th in the Segunda División. Mirandés 19th. A direct clash between two sides desperate for points in the final weeks of the season. The team finishing higher survives or avoids the play-off. The team below faces worse consequences.
Millán scored. Leganés held on. Three points. Season still alive.
Leganés Struggled All Season. Tonight They Delivered.
One win in their last ten Segunda matches before Sunday. One. Four defeats and a draw in their last five. Averaging 0.6 goals per game in that stretch. A team that had lost all confidence in attack.
Álex Millán has five goals this season. Top scorer at the club. Diego García on four. Duk on three. Against Mirandés they managed one. The one that mattered.
Leganés are unbeaten in their last nine against Mirandés. Nine. Five wins, four draws. The last time Mirandés beat them at Butarque goes back further than anyone at the ground wants to calculate. Leganés beat them 4-0 at Butarque in 2024. Beat them 1-0 on Sunday.
The record held.
Mirandés Had Carlos Fernández. Did Not Score.
Carlos Fernández is their top scorer. Ten Segunda goals this season. The best individual tally in their squad by a distance.
Sunday he did not score. At Butarque, against a direct rival, with the season on the line.
Mirandés come in with 1.8 goals conceded per game this season. Defensively vulnerable. Offensively inconsistent. Leganés sit only marginally better. The difference between these two teams on Sunday was one goal from Millán and nothing from Fernández.
That gap goes on the table. Mirandés stay 19th. Three points below Leganés.
The Head-to-Head Keeps Delivering for Leganés
Nine unbeaten against Mirandés is not luck. It is a pattern.
Leganés at home against this opponent have won or drawn every meeting across years of Segunda football. Mirandés have managed a draw in the last meeting between the sides — the previous encounter this season ended 0-0 away. Coming to Butarque they needed to finally break the run.
They did not break it.
The previous encounter before this season at Butarque ended 4-0 to Leganés. This one ended 1-0. The venue keeps producing the same result regardless of where both clubs are in the table.
What the Result Means
Leganés 16th. 32 points. Three wins, eight draws, ten losses. Still breathing.
Mirandés 19th. 21 points. Five wins, six draws, fifteen losses. In serious trouble. Their goal difference of minus seventeen against Leganés’ plus one says everything about the gap in quality over the course of the campaign.
Two rounds left in the Segunda. These points could be the difference between survival and a relegation play-off. Neither club is safe yet. Sunday was a step in the right direction for Leganés. A step in the wrong direction for Mirandés.
