Spectators returned to the fold in the Valencia 1st Regional Group 10 on Saturday as CF Rafal defeated Racing San Miguel 2-0, notching up a fourth consecutive win to go third in the table, with Racing sitting third bottom.
“It was good to get back and watch games inside the ground, even though the result didn’t go our way,” Racing fan Steve Dobson told The Leader. “Both teams battled well on a very small pitch and it looked like it was heading for a 0-0 draw, until two mistakes in defence allowed CF Rafal to score two goals.
“Overall, even though we lost, the main thing was seeing fans being allowed back in the ground supporting both clubs, after the easing of COVID-19 behind closed doors protocols” added Steve.
