The end of the first phase already leaves several important conclusions. There are several historical teams that have taken a resounding hit. Deportivo will try, with what it can achieve against Zamora and with what happens in other fields, to be one of those shipwrecked ocean liners. Of the newly descended from professional football, only Extremadura has options to return. Rácing de Santander and Numancia will play for being in the First Federation.
In the group of Galicians, without going any further, the Pontevedra, who at the beginning of the season aspired to promotion, will fight not to descend to the Third Federation. He will do it regardless of what he gets on the last day of next Sunday. The victory of the Rácing de Ferrol certifies an automatic descent to Second Federation for Luisito’s. A team with cache players like Charles the Ruff.
In subgroup 1B, the Numancia de Soria, who was relegated like Deportivo from professional football last year, will not be eligible for promotion and will choose to play in the PRO League or to be relegated. The same thing happens to Santander Racing, another of the teams that started the road from Second to Second B. Those from El Sardinero ended up with no options to return to Second this year despite the fact that they still have to play the last day.
The failure of the Hercules of Carmelo del Pozo was also sounded. The former blue and white sports director could not lead the Alicante team to the path of fighting for promotion despite the expectations of the summer. They finish fourth in their group after losing consecutive defeats. The local press in Alicante speaks of the risk of disappearance in case of not being able to play the next Second B PRO. The historical one has worse Recreativo de Huelva, who finished eighth and will fight not to descend to the Third Federation. The same situation lived Marbella, one of the most economically powerful projects and that will have to avoid the disaster of playing the fifth national category.
The one that obtained the ticket, and with some ease, is Extremadura from Coruña Manuel Mosquera. After a season in which he was fired for poor results, and recruited again, Extremadura added four wins in a row to place second and make Almendralejo dream of returning to Second.
