SPANISH FOOTBALL | DEPORTIVO A CORUÑA RETURNS TO LA LIGA

Three Spanish 2º Division Football Clubs will win a place in LA LIGA ( Spanish 1º Division ) for next season . The first two placed on the classification table go in automatically while 3rd to 6th placed Clubs participate in a "play-off" for the last remaining place.

Deportivo celebrate

This afternoon the goals from RIKI ( 40th min ) & XISCO ( 70th min) gave DEPORTIVO A CORUÑA a 2 - 1 victory over HUESCA & 88 points that makes them mathematically 2 º Division Champs & promotes them into the Spanish League with a match still left to play. Deportivo A Coruña return a year later after being relegated last season with tears while tonight there are tears of joy.


The remaining automatic promotion place is being fought out between CELTA DE VIGO ( which won tonight 1 - 2 Tarragona ) & VALLADOLID ( which drew 2 -2 with Alcorcon). The draw by Valladolid stopped Celta mathematically claiming the promotion & thus needs to win or draw next week to join Deportivo. On the otherhand if Valladolid wins & Celta loses the former will be promoted.

Until then there is still plenty of emotion left in the 2 º Division & the City of A Coruña is tonight a massive party of street celebrations.
