In a tightly contested match on November 2, CDJ Tamarite edged out Andorra CF with a score of 2-1 in the Tercera División RFEF - Group 17. The game, held at an undisclosed venue, showcased the resilience of Tamarite as they secured their second victory of the season, while Andorra continued to grapple with their inability to convert draws into wins.
The first half saw Éric Izquierdo put CDJ Tamarite ahead in the 28th minute. His goal came after a well-executed play that caught Andorra's defense off guard. This early lead set the tone for Tamarite, who had been struggling in recent weeks but found renewed energy against a team that had yet to taste defeat this season.
Andorra CF entered this match sitting in 10th place with 12 points, having drawn six times and won only twice. Their previous five matches included a mix of results, most notably a solid win against Almudévar and a frustrating goalless draw against Atlético Monzón just days prior. Despite showing flashes of potential, Andorra's inability to finish games strongly has left them searching for answers.
After halftime, CDJ Tamarite doubled their lead in the 53rd minute with another goal from an unnamed player-a moment that seemed to seal Andorra's fate. With two goals down, Andorra was forced to push forward aggressively in search of a comeback. Their persistence paid off when they finally found the back of the net late in the match, but it was too little too late.
As time ticked away, Andorra pressed hard for an equalizer but could not break through Tamarite's defense again. The final whistle confirmed Tamarite's victory and marked another disappointing result for Andorra CF, who now find themselves questioning how to turn their numerous draws into crucial wins.
This result leaves CDJ Tamarite sitting at 13th place with 8 points after eight matches played-an improvement that may help build momentum as they look ahead to their next fixture against Belchite 97 on November 9. Meanwhile, Andorra remains mired in mid-table mediocrity and will need to regroup quickly before facing Utrillas on the same day if they hope to shift their fortunes.
Reflecting on my pre-match prediction that Andorra would finally secure a significant win against Tamarite feels rather misguided now. Instead of breaking free from their cycle of draws and finding success at home, they fell short once more. As both teams prepare for their upcoming challenges, one thing is clear: every point counts as they navigate this competitive league landscape.
