Touring suffered a 1-2 home defeat against Alavés C at Fanderia on Thursday, April 17, marking a minor setback in their quest for play-off positions.

Giving away opportunities is not an option in these categories, a fact that became evident in the match played at Fanderia. Touring fell by one goal to two against Alavés C, a defeat that complicates the Errenteria team's objective of securing a play-off spot.
In the first half, the home team was not effective, but still created dangerous situations. An example was Llorente's good run in the 21st minute, who entered the area after a header from Ortiz. However, it was clear that something was not working correctly.
This feeling was confirmed in the second half, as there were not many clear chances in the first. After the break, the Vitoria team appeared much more aggressive. This was compounded by a somewhat weak defense from Touring. This is how the first goal came, with two consecutive actions in which García failed to clear the ball, gifting the first goal to Sáenz. Fortunately, the goal, scored in the 47th minute, left time for a comeback.

Match analysis
The idea of a comeback began to take shape with the substitutions made by the coach. One of them, Koldo, was responsible for leveling the match with a good goal. It was the 71st minute, and it seemed that the wind was starting to blow in Touring's favor.
However, at this stage, and against a team like Alavés C, mistakes are costly. After a foul where Sevillano could have managed the play differently, the Vitoria team scored the second goal three minutes from the end through Relloso. This blow left Touring stunned, as they remain in second place, awaiting the result of Leioa's match.
Nevertheless, the Bizkaia team faces San Ignacio, a team close to the play-off spots with 49 points. Likewise, the results of yesterday's matches offer some relief to Touring. An example of this is the defeat suffered by Lagun Onak against Durango, which places Lagun in fourth position with 52 points.
As for Touring, their next match will be against Zarautz at home. This is an opportunity they cannot let slip away, as the Zarautz team is in second to last place with 26 points.
