It was a 1 hour 20 minute drive south from Pamplona to Tarazona, in the region of Aragon, for this game in the third level of Spanish football. Once again no problem with parking in the surrounding streets. The ground is floodlit and has a 702 seat stand on one side, with cover stretching from one 18 yard box to the other on the opposite side, although standing is at one level for the entirety. There is access behind each goal too, one with a couple of steps of terracing and viewing from the top of the bank at the same end. There was a small refreshment bar, but it was located at the rear of the stand, so not really of use whilst the game was in progress.

The game was a real relegation battle, as fourth bottom hosted bottom of the table. Tarazona had only managed one win and four draws from their opening eleven games, whilst Teruel hadn’t won at all, but had managed to draw six of their eleven played so far. I didn’t expect much of a game, but didn’t expect it to be as bad as this. I would expect both these sides to struggle to survive at Step 6 in England. They were absolutely dire. I don’t recall anything like a goal opportunity being produced by either side. It felt more like an endurance test than a football match. At least Teruel will have been happy picking up a point though, as it got them off the foot of the table, climbing up two places!
