Gerard Fernandez came through with a late equalizer at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan after the Andalucians had fallen behind after the half. With only one victory from their first three league games, the hosts have had a mixed start to the 2025–26 season. However, they got off to a good start against Elche.
After Elche wasted opportunities before halftime, Isaac Romero scored a fantastic first goal in the 28th minute to calm the jubilant away supporters. Elche's confidence is still strong despite the setback because of their own undefeated start to the new season. After the restart, Elche responded right away as Andre Silva leveled the score from close range to equalize the match at 55 minutes. Rafa Mir scored his third goal since signing on loan from Sevilla with a fantastic free kick to put the away team ahead, but the crazy night in Sevilla came to an end when Fernandez jumped on a loose ball inside the area to score an equalizer.
