Heavy Defeat at Enrique Roca

Club Deportivo Teruel suffered a painful defeat on their visit to the Murcian capital, losing 4-0 to a Real Murcia side that, if it continues in this vein, will be a serious promotion contender. In the highly demanding setting of Enrique Roca Stadium, Kiko Ramírez’s team struggled particularly in the second half, when it was unable to display its trademark defensive solidity. A heavy defeat and a serious warning early in the Primera RFEF season.

Real Murcia’s firepower was soon on full display. After an earlier warning in the form of a shot against the crossbar, Joel Jorquera put the home side ahead in the 17th minute. Teruel were struggling to find their footing and, despite their efforts, faced a much more developed opponent. Their status as a powerful side in the division was evident. The teams went into halftime with the score at 1-0.

SECOND HALF

The Teruel side had held out relatively well, but Real Murcia threw everything into sealing the match. With a long-range effort, Javi Moreno extended the hosts’ lead in the 52' minute. Teruel pushed forward from then on, which suited the Murcia side even more. Cristo made it 3-0 by taking advantage of a counterattack and, just before the 90' minute, Jorquera put the final nail in the Aragonese side’s coffin to make it 4-0.

The match leaves Teruel shaken, having picked up just one point from the opening two rounds. A warning to the rest.
