Match4 Nov 2026

Cádiz through in the cup

A 4‑2 win over Valencia, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Age has not caught Álex Fernández yet — 7.96

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.96 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Cádiz

Bojan Kovačević was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match4 Nov 2026

Álex Fernández among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Álex Fernández on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Cádiz and Valencia.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Damián falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces9 Nov 2026

The crowd has taken to Gui Negão

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Iuri Tabatadze runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match7 Nov 2026

Cádiz see off Málaga

Three points for Cádiz, 1‑0 the final word against Málaga in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Ninety minutes of Urko Izeta at his very best

Marked 8.06. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Cádiz.

Match17 Oct 2026

No end in sight to Cádiz's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Cádiz has to find a result from somewhere.

Match17 Oct 2026

4 matches without a goal for Cádiz

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words at Cádiz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Damián is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Victor Aznar has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Suso runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Cádiz

José Antonio De la Rosa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match26 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for Cádiz

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Damián in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Cádiz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match26 Sep 2026

Cádiz come up short against Granada

Granada left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad28 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Iza

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Iza, and the manager let it.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Yussi Diarra

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Jorge Moreno left out for tactical reasons at Cádiz

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
