Incidentally, the B sides of most La Liga teams also play in the third division - Real Madrid Castilla are in Group 2, and Barca Atletic are in Group 3 along with Villarreal B and Valencia Mestalla. [Sevilla Atletico are so good they're in the second division.] Even more impressive: Real Union aren't top of the third division, they're top of Group 1 in the third division (which is divided up by region).

If that sort of level headed professionalism is typical of this Union team then maybe they can go all the way. Great presence of mind from the number 8 to dispatch the ball to the corner flag too.
