Andorra has trip again on the same stone and has seen, once again, how the triumph eluded them in the most painful way: with a goal from a set piece in the last minutes. Until then, the tricolours had done some more merit than Real Sociedad B to take the victory, especially in the first half hour of game and in the final stretch of the match, after the Basques were left with one player less. Josep Cerdà, with a great personal action, had put Andorra ahead, but when the victory seemed to be in the bag, it disappeared in an unfortunate move.
Ferran Costa's men started excitedly looking for the opposite goal. The tricolours were more comfortable than their rival, who hardly got close to Nico Ratti's goal in the entire first half. However, Andorra's good intentions have been diluted as the minutes go by and beyond a header from Manu Nieto at the exit of a corner kick (35') they have hardly disturbed the visitor goalkeeper.
In the restart, Real Sociedad took a step forward and were more comfortable during the first minutes of the second half. To reverse the trend, Ferran Costa has moved the bench and the idea soon took effect. Just three minutes after entering the field, Josep Cerdà has caused the second yellow card on his marker and the txuri urdin have been left with one player less.
The match then became a total attack-and-goal by Andorra, who closed in their opponent around their area. And after minutes of a lot of patience, the goal arrived with a spectacular individual play by Josep Cerdà, who opened the score in the 82nd minute. The most difficult part was done and the victory seemed certain, but as it happened last day against Cultural Leonesa, in an isolated action with a set piece, the visitors equalized (89'), which would already be definitive.
