AD San José begins the Primera Andaluza with a 2-1 defeat at the Municipal de Pedrera, after taking the lead with a goal from Diego Rosado just before half-time and collapsing in the second half.
The team coached by Nando de La Rosa took the lead on the scoreboard just before half-time with a goal from Diego Rosado, the first of the season for the blue team. Until that moment, San José had taken the initiative and managed possession more effectively than their rivals.
The situation changed completely after the break. In the 56th minute, Mario Guerrero equalised for CD Pedrera, and the locals, who had been at the mercy of the rinconero team until then, began to believe in a comeback.
San José felt the blow and relinquished control of the ball. The players of Nando de La Rosa started to give ground, and Pedrera took advantage to complete the comeback in the 78th minute through Abraham.
The defeat leaves the cañamero team without points in the first round of the Primera Andaluza, a start that hurts especially because San José is expected to fight for direct promotion to the División de Honor. The club has now gone five seasons without achieving this goal, and the fans, as heard upon leaving the Municipal de Pedrera, fear that history will repeat itself from last season.
“More of the same,” commented a cañamero fan upon leaving the Municipal de Pedrera.
The results of the round do not help to digest the defeat. The main rivals for promotion, such as Osuna Bote and Ventippo, did score points, and San José knows that a second stumble at home against Alcalá would leave them with a 0 out of 6 before facing their direct rivals.
The next commitment for the rinconero team will be at Felipe del Valle, where Nando de La Rosa's side will seek their first victory of the season against Alcalá.
