The defeat against Teruel confirms the poor dynamic the 'grana' side has entered, showing regression in their play since the promising start under Cristóbal Parralo. The goal scored by Andrés Rodríguez just before halftime punished a team unable to break down the visiting defense.
The match reached a turning point in the 35th minute when Nico Van Rijn was sent off with a direct red card for holding Marcos Baselga as he approached the goal. Despite the numerical advantage, Nàstic appeared sluggish and lacked the necessary spark to create clear chances, beyond a header by Baselga and a shot by Cedric.
Nàstic has settled into a dynamic where its shortcomings easily surface and where it proves incapable of maximizing what it does best.
Physical difficulties added to the sporting woes. Álvaro García was injured after fifteen minutes, and in the final stretch, Christos Almpanis had to be stretchered off in the 80th minute after suffering a cerebral concussion, forcing Nàstic to make an additional substitution.
Frustration was palpable in the stands of the Nou Estadi, which ended the match visibly upset with the team and the board, with chants of "¡Directiva, dimisión!" (Board, resign!). The Tarragona side remains stuck in a classification "limbo."
