A tough test for Fernando Torres ' Atlético de Madrid B , visiting the Municipal de Santo Domingo and facing an AD Alcorcón that is very difficult to beat at home. The Alfareros are one of the strongest teams in the category. El Niño recovered people like Alejandro Iturbe for his eleven, who returned to the goal after his absence due to international call-up.
First start for the two star signings of the Niño: Javi Serrano, who looks likely to be called up by Simeone tomorrow against Valencia , and Víctor Mollejo . He also started in a line-up with a clear attacking vocation on the part of the Fuenlabrada coach. The Canary Islander Ale García and Rayane Belaid formed the wings of an Atlético de Madrid that went out to Santo Domingo without any kind of complex.
The first great chance of the match was for Adrián Niño , who received a weak shot from Rayane Belaid that put the Alfareros' goal in danger. Rafa Llorente responded minutes later, causing a great stretch from Alejandro Iturbe, who prevented the goal in his goal. Juan Sebastián left for the entrance of Lache , Minute 31, and a great goal from Alcorcón , poorly defended by Atlético de Madrid.
Alcorcón took control in the first half
A direct free kick that Alejandro Iturbe could not stop, leaving the barrier open and unable to do anything about Yael 's shot. The home team struck again and, for the fourth time in a row, the Colchoneros conceded first. Fernando Torres cannot stop the defensive bleeding ; his team has already conceded four goals in four games, a problem that must be solved.
Víctor Mollejo , meanwhile, tried to find space, but once again the red-and-white team's poor offensive form prevented them from having a clear chance. Lache committed an unnecessary foul on the side of the box, and Atlético had the opportunity to respond to the home team's blow. Niño was not sharp, Rayane suffered a blow and the referee ignored the protests.
Janneh unblocked the match
Omar Janneh came on after the break looking to give Fernando Torres ' team some dynamite, but it was Alcorcón who were the first to give the game a warning with Vladys . The home side were close to sealing the win after a serious mistake by Kostis and a great save by Iturbe. And in the second attempt, Vladys again did not forgive, Iturbe stopped it, but the 14 ended up pushing it in, the game almost over.
Suddenly, Rayane Belaid gained the touchline and Ale García only had to push her in, and they were fully into the game. Mollejo tried to assist Jannehon the counterattack , but his pass was weak. Another one that Alcorcón missed, but Iturbe repelled it well.
Omar Janneh invented a great chance with great nerve, including a bicycle kick and a shot from the edge of the area that was saved by the local goalkeeper in the 65th minute. Mestanza and Boñar came on, while Pascual gave away a very clear chance, which Iturbe powerfully thwarted.
Boñar wins applause
Javi Boñar unleashed madness on the visiting bench, a magnificent pass from Alejandro Mestanza was connected by the Madrid native. The red-and-whites equalised the score after some successful changes by Torres who got it right , bringing on Gismera and Boñar , the hero of the night, who scored the final 3-2. That goal was widely celebrated by all his teammates and by Fernando Torres himself: a turning point for the team.
An important victory for the red and whites who took a breath of fresh air and took three golden points from Santo Domingo , despite suffering at the end. Mollejo forgave the final decision, in a masterful counterattack led by Janneh. The red and whites took Gold from Santo Domingo and Fernando Torres left euphoric and proud of his team.
