The 'franjiverde' squad has once again demonstrated its ability to survive in the top flight, marking its sixth permanence in history decided on the final day. Unlike previous occasions where they always played at home, this time success was achieved away, with a 1-1 result that now becomes part of the club's history.

The team managed by Eder Sarabia skillfully handled the nerves of such a critical situation, avoiding significant errors and conceding few clear chances to a Girona side that showed signs of fatigue towards the end of the season. The Catalan team, along with Mallorca and Oviedo, are relegated.

Achieving permanence at Montilivi holds special significance for Elche, as it was in this very stadium six years ago that promotion to La Liga was secured in August 2020, with a last-gasp goal from Pere Milla in the play-off final against Girona. Now, the Girona stadium becomes another emblematic location for celebrating a new success.

After a season of ups and downs, Sarabia's Elche has managed to recover from negative streaks and achieve the objective of permanence in a place with a strong historical connection for the 'franjiverde' fanbase.
