Two clubs chasing promotion to Spain's first division will do battle today in a playoff match between Cordoba and Real Murcia. The second-division clash scheduled for 1:45 p.m. ET will be held at Estadio Nuevo Arcangel in Cordoba and can be live streamed here free. Additional television coverage can be found on beIN Sports.
Being one of the best teams in Spain's second division, Cordoba enter today's match with an opportunity to control their playoff tie against Real Murcia. For manager Albert Ferrer, his team's ability to compete has been the key to success in 2014, something he hopes will continue this afternoon.
"When we got here [to the second division], we began winning, but there was a stretch of four games where we couldn't. From there, we started to go on a great run," Ferrer said (via LFP).
"Ever since we got here, we've always been able to compete with any other team. There's never been a rival team that's been vastly superior to us and that was my objective, that we remain competitive," he added.
