Atleti B Stumbles Away From Home
Atlético de Madrid B fails to improve away from home, suffering another defeat against Marbella. Despite a good performance at home, the Rojiblancos fail to replicate their success away from Majadahonda, complicating their playoff aspirations.
Marbella came out intensely, taking advantage of a mistake in the Atleti B’s ball exit to take the lead with a great goal from outside the area. The Colchoneros’ subsidiary tried to react, but came up against a well-established and experienced local team, which knew how to stop their attacks and slow down the game.
After the break, a penalty committed by Kostis extended Marbella’s lead, who looked solid in defense and took advantage of Atlético’s mistakes. Despite some isolated attempts, Atleti B failed to find a formula to reverse the situation, showing a lack of ideas and reaction.
Rajado’s debut was one of the few notable things in a match where the team failed to feel comfortable at any time. Marbella, with an intelligent and effective approach, took a victory that allows them to breathe in their fight to avoid relegation.
