Eldense won their first game of the season with a 1-0 victory over Real Sporting in El Molinón Enrique Castro Quini. The win was a crucial one for the team, who were struggling at the start of the competition in Segunda División.
Messi, who is reportedly close to buying the club, showed his support for the team by liking a post on Instagram after the match. The post showed Javi Martínez, the player who scored the winning goal, celebrating with the match result.
The Argentine's reaction came just hours after Eldense achieved an important result to leave a complicated situation in the start of the competition. The team had been struggling to get out of the last places in the classification.
Eldense will now look to build on this momentum and continue their recovery, while also defining their future institutional plans. Meanwhile, the possible arrival of Messi as the club's new owner continues to generate attention and excitement around the team.
