Decisive in Cordoba CF’s last three matches in 2024, with two goals and an assist (for a total of 4 goals this season), Théo Zidane did not shine during his return to Liga 2 on Sunday afternoon. The Cordobans were beaten at home 3-0 by another team from Andalusia, Almeria, the leaders of the Spanish second division.
Luis Suarez, the center forward who passed through OM, put Cordoba through an ordeal and even shortened the presence of Zinédine Zidane’s third son on the pitch. The Colombian international opened the scoring from the penalty spot (31st) then caused the exclusion of José Calderon at the start of the second half (46th). It was Théo, a 22-year-old relay midfielder, who was taken out by his coach to bring in a defender. The Brazilian Léo Baptistao converted the penalty (51st).
Bad result for Luca Zidane
The Cordoba club, at 10 against 11, did not achieve any feat (and therefore conceded a third goal, scored by Nico Melamed in the 69th) and finds itself 16th in the ranking, six points behind the first relegation. Almeria, for its part, is still three steps ahead of its two pursuers, Elche and Santander. Only the first two are promoted directly to La Liga, with the next four teams competing in a playoff.
Luca Zidane’s Granada is aiming to climb the elite, but this other Andalusian club did not manage to win at home against Burgos (0-0) during this 22nd day of the Segunda. The 26-year-old French goalkeeper was forced to save his team three times. Granada CF is 8th, two points from the top 6.
