Elche Finishes Preseason Undefeated with 3-0 Win Over Toulouse

Elche concluded their preseason friendly schedule with a decisive 3-0 victory over French side Toulouse, showcasing a strong performance that leaves them undefeated heading into the new Spanish league season.

The match, held at Pinatar Arena, saw goals from Germán Valera in the first half, followed by late strikes from Grady Diangana and Fer Niño. These goals underscored Elche's dominance throughout the preparation phase under coach Martín Anselmi.

Anselmi fielded a recognizable lineup, featuring the return of goalkeeper Matías Dituro and the attacking presence of young academy player Umaru, who has been Elche's top scorer during preseason. Despite an early physical challenge from Toulouse, Elche took the lead in the 13th minute through Valera after a fluid attacking sequence.

The victory provides Elche with significant momentum as they prepare to face Deportivo de La Coruña in their opening league match on August 17. The team's unbeaten preseason run signals a promising start to their campaign.
