Atlético B: Tough Defeat in Seville Complicates Play-Off Push
Atlético de Madrid B suffered a tough setback in their visit to Sevilla Atlético, in a match corresponding to Group 2 of Primera RFEF. Despite showing a notable improvement in their away game and generating clear scoring opportunities, Fernando Torres’ team was defeated with a goal in the 96th minute.
The expulsion of Selu Diallo in the 63rd minute, after receiving a second yellow card, further complicated the match for the Rojiblancos, who had to face the last half hour with one player less.
The match, played at the Ciudad Deportiva Jesús Navas, was very competitive from the start, with both teams seeking control and generating chances. Omar Janneh had two clear one-on-one opportunities that he failed to materialize thanks to the good performance of the local goalkeeper, Alberto.
Sevilla Atlético also generated danger, forcing Iturbe to show off with good saves. Despite the defeat, the good news is that Mérida, a direct rival in the fight for the play-off, drew their match.
The distance to the goal remains at two points, although Sevilla Atlético and Real Madrid Castilla have also entered the fight. The Colchonero team will face Mérida on the final day, in a match that seems decisive for their promotion aspirations. Now it’s time to get up and face the last stretch of the season with optimism and determination.
