First Team

Three very hard-worked points

Andorra had to work very hard and fight until the end to get three key points that boost them in the fight to enter the promotion positions. Against Tarazona, the tricolours found themselves in a complicated match, with a slow pace and little activity in the areas, which ended up being decided thanks to a header by Marc Bombardó.

Bomba was key when the duel was already facing the final stretch, but before that, Beto Company's team had to cook it with patience and a lot of calm. Despite a vigorous start, with a header by Manu Nieto and a shot by Álvaro Martín, which grazed the goal, the first half was quite boring. The visitors, a very physical and experienced team, managed to implement a very slow pace in the game that made Andorra not feel comfortable at any time. The Principality men had the ball, but they couldn't quite overcome Tarazona's initial pressure, nor did they find any dangerous situations when they managed to push the opponent close to their area.

The start of the second half wasn't much more lively and, for this reason, in the quarter of an hour Beto Company tried to shake up the team with a triple substitution to place three central defenders at the back and two forwards at front. Whether for this reason or not, shortly after Manu shot high and, in the 69th minute, Andorra achieved what would end up being the winning goal. Álvaro Martín placed a delicious cross into the area and Bomba got ahead of the visiting defense to send the ball into the back of the net with an amazing header.

With the goal, the game changed a little because Tarazona was forced to take a step forward. But despite the nerves and some inaccuracies, the tricolours have maintained control, have managed to keep the pace low through ball control and have been able to celebrate the victory without Nico Ratti having to make any meritorious intervention.
