Atlético B Fights But Loses to Sevilla Atlético in Stoppage Time
Atlético de Madrid B, managed by Fernando Torres, suffered a painful defeat against Sevilla Atlético in a key match for the promotion playoff spots to Segunda División. The match, played with intensity and with both teams showing their aspirations, was decided at the last gasp.
In the first half, Atlético B generated the clearest chances, with Julio and Omar testing the local goalkeeper, as well as a shot by Martín hitting the crossbar. Iturbe, Atlético B’s goalkeeper, also had outstanding interventions.
Fernando Torres’ team showed superiority in the game and good offensive transitions, although without managing to materialize the opportunities generated. The second half began with the same impetus from Atlético B, but Diallo’s expulsion in the 63rd minute, after seeing the second yellow card, changed the panorama of the match.
Despite playing with ten men, the Rojiblanco subsidiary heroically resisted the attacks of Sevilla Atlético. However, the resistance was not enough. In the 96th minute, Isra Domínguez scored the decisive goal for Sevilla Atlético, leaving Atlético B’s effort without reward. The goal came after an elaborate play by the local team, which took advantage of the numerical superiority to unbalance the Colchoneros defense. A cruel result for Atlético B, who fought to the end despite the adversities.
