The 36 mile drive east along the coast from Estepona took just over 50 minutes, but despite arriving here an hour before kick off, it was nearly a case of having to drop this match from our schedule. We already had tickets for an evening game, so were working with a limited time window between matches and we had a problem here with parking, as the ground was in the middle of a residential area of tight streets and high rise buildings. We must have driven up every street in the vicinity looking for a space and just as we’d resigned ourselves to having to give up, a space appeared, just about big enough to squeeze in a vehicle. Luckily, it was only five or six minutes walk from the ground.

As with a lot of lower level games in Spain, it’s a 3G pitch, with spectator access limited to behind the near goal, where the refreshments (rolls done freshly to order) and changing rooms were and along the right hand touchline, where there was a covered stand, with concrete steps that were used for standing, rather than sitting on. The only problem was that the entire area had mesh netting in front and there was no option but to watch through it!

The match was 11th versus 3rd in the league table. It was no surprise to see the visitors take the lead after twenty five minutes, when a diagonal cross into the box was knocked down for a shot hammered low into the bottom corner. Despite dominating for long periods, they failed to get the all important second goal and were made to pay for it dearly, when Juval equalised with a penalty a minute from the end.
