Affengruber and Elche Draw in LaLiga Opener
A veteran star puts the promoted team ahead early. However, Affengruber and co. manage the perfect response.
David Affengruber and CF Elche secure a draw to kick off the 2026/27 LaLiga season.
The Lower Austrian (25) and his club had to settle for a 1-1 draw away at Deportivo La Coruña on the first matchday.
The hosts, featuring new signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, took the lead through their veteran star after just 21 minutes. Following a long ball, the Gabonese striker-veteran scored with a half-volley into the far corner, as Affengruber and his defensive teammates arrived too late.
Equalizer From a Corner
Elche subsequently dominated more of the game but had to wait until the 78th minute before finding the equalizer. Following a corner, Marc Aguado powered a header into the far corner.
ÖFB player Affengruber played the full match for Elche and recorded the most ball contacts of all players. Next up, FC Barcelona awaits them at home.
