CD Egabrense, coached by Rafa Escobar, has taken a decisive step towards promotion to Tercera Federación after a 0-3 victory over Montilla in the first leg of the play-off final.

The team from Cabra is now just 90 minutes away from achieving their second promotion in two seasons, following their clear win in the first leg played this Sunday.
The match in Montilla was characterized by initial tension and mutual respect. However, the expulsion of the local goalkeeper, Rafa Martínez, in the 35th minute for handling the ball outside the area, changed the game's dynamic. CD Egabrense's numerical advantage quickly became apparent.
Fernando Arévalo put the visitors ahead in the 39th minute, and after halftime, he extended the lead again in the 59th minute with a well-worked team play. José Miguel Prieto sealed the match with the 0-3 goal in the 66th minute, securing a comfortable advantage for the return leg.
The team managed by Isaac de la Cuesta in Montilla was overwhelmed by the situation, while Egabrense managed their lead without major incidents. The club and the city of Cabra are already preparing to celebrate a historic promotion, especially significant as it comes in their first season after being promoted.
In Group I of the Andalusian Honor Division, Betis C and Racing Club Portuense had already secured their promotion as champions and runners-up. Egabrense had previously eliminated Balompédica Lebrijana in the previous play-off round, while Montilla defeated Atlético Palma del Río.
