In a dramatic final day of matches in the Spanish second division, Hércules defeated Real Unión 0-2 to seal their promotion to Spain’s top-flight, according to reports filed in all major Spanish sports media. It has been 14 years since the team played in the Primera, where they join Levante and Basque squad Real Sociedad as FC Barcelona’s new opponents in the 2010-11 season. The final round of games crowned the Basques second division champions with 74 points; three teams followed on 71 points with Betis condemned to remain in the lower league despite their 4-0 victory today over Levante. Looking further down the table, Cádiz, Murcia, Castellón, and Real Unión, the team who sent Real Madrid crashing out of the Copa del Rey in 2008, were each relegated.
