In an exciting La Liga battle in the early hours of Tuesday morning (19th), Kirona narrowly overtook Real Madrid at the top of the league table with a 3-0 home win over Elavis thanks to a hat-trick from Duvbic. The team known as the "Magic Division" has accumulated 44 points in the first 17 rounds of the season, and statistics show that two-thirds of the teams that scored 44 points in the same period eventually won the championship, so it seems that Kirona is on the way to creating a miracle.
In the 23rd minute of the match, Duvbik opened the scoring for Kelowna with a clever follow-up shot from inside the box. Midfielder Park Tou then added a second to increase the lead to 2-0, and on the stroke of halftime, Kirona was awarded a penalty kick, which Duvbik converted to seal the win. It is worth noting that although Kirona only had 9 shots on goal in the whole match, 4 of them hit the target, while Elavis only hit the target 2 times despite having 12 shots on goal, the huge difference between offensive and defensive efficiency became the key of the match.
Quirona is undefeated in the last 9 rounds of the league, boasting 8 wins and 1 draw, making it the leading team in the table of the top 5 leagues in Europe. What's more, historically, two-thirds of the teams that scored 44 points in the first 17 rounds of La Liga in the opening season ended up laughing all the way to the bank, including Barcelona in the 2008/09 season, Atletico Madrid in the 2020/21 season, and Barcelona last season, while the only one to lose the title was Real Madrid in the 2010/11 season.
