No Admission or Programme.

It was about half an hours drive from our hotel west of Sevilla, to the town of Dos Hermanas, just southeast of the city. Pitch A4 is part of a multi pitch complex and has a dual aspect stand that has 344 seats. There’s no problem gaining access, although the security at the main gate only allow spectators into the site about half an hours drive before kick off. There’s a large car park and a cafe outside the security gate, where drinks and snacks are available, with a patio area with chairs and tables, enabling you to soak up the sun pre match. It was continually busy, as the other part of the complex, on the other side of the road, was hosting youth matches.

The match was 1st versus 7th in the league table and turned out to be an easy win for the hosts. They were in front after sixteen minutes and had added two more by the thirty sixth minute. Sporting Atletico looked like they might get back into it, when they pulled one back in the last minute of the half, but the comeback was short lived. They did hold the hosts out until the seventy first minute, when a ball down the left was finished with a low angled shot into the far corner, with a fifth goal coming four minutes later. A diagonal free kick, spilled by the ‘keeper and followed in from close range and a shot that went under the dive of the ‘keeper saw them add two more in the last nine minutes to round off the scoring.
