Atlético B wins at home and enters promotion play-off
Atlético de Madrid B secured their first home win of the season with a 1-0 victory over AD Mérida. Mollejo’s first-half goal and the team’s resistance in the rest of the match allowed Fernando Torres’ side to take all three points.
This victory places the red and whites in the promotion play-off positions, with 19 points. Atlético B started the match with the intention of securing their first home win of the season, after having come close to several victories at home, but which had escaped them in the last play of the game.
The rojiblanco team saw a goal disallowed to Adrián Niño in the early minutes, but not in the play in which Mollejo scored the ball at 21 minutes. Mérida had their chances, especially through a Doncel with several chances, but Atlético ended the first half trying to clear the danger.
The second act began with the same tone, with a very attacking Mérida in search of the equalizer and an Atlético B that counterattacked dangerously. The two coaches moved their pieces, but the colchonero subsidiary was the one who had the last word with another great chance that the Romans cleared under the posts.
