Atleti B Moves Away from Playoff After Harsh Setback in Seville
Atlético de Madrid’s B team suffered a painful defeat against Sevilla Atlético, complicating their aspiration for the promotion playoff. Despite a good start to the match, the lack of accuracy in front of goal condemned the Rojiblancos.
Omar Janneh had clear chances in the first half, but the Sevilla goalkeeper frustrated his attempts. The team showed determination and dominance, but failed to materialize. Martín Pascual hit a header off the crossbar just before halftime, highlighting the lack of luck for the Colchoneros.
The match took a drastic turn in the second half with the expulsion of Selu Diallo for a second yellow card. Despite being outnumbered, Atleti B defended with order and it seemed that a draw was a valuable result.
However, in the last minute, a stunning goal by Isra Domínguez unleashed madness in Seville and dashed Atlético’s hopes. This result leaves Sevilla Atlético with the same points as Atleti B, surpassing them in the standings.
The Rojiblanco’s reserve team will have to reflect on this defeat and regain the solidity shown at home if they want to keep their playoff options alive. The inconsistency shown away from home is hindering the team, which needs to add three points in the next matches to achieve its objective.
