0-1: UD Almería 'B' come out on top in La Línea de la Concepción

The UDA Academy prospects edged past Balompédica Linense away from home, who were climbing up positions in the competition. The three points allow the Almería lads to remain in the promotion play-offs zone

UD Almería 'B', as their head coach wanted, have made their presence known in the Segunda RFEF tier by achieving a vital victory against a historically great team, Balompédica Linense, who were climbing up the table in the competition. The 'B' team faced this second return fixture after losing the previous week at home to Águilas FC, who put their position in the promotion play-offs in jeopardy. 
 
The UD Almería prospects regained their strength as visitors since they have only lost once away from home in the entire season just before the Christmas hiatus, and overcame opponents who had been unbeaten for three consecutive games and were willing to hunt down UD Almería 'B' to make it to the play-offs. Alberto Lasarte's boys prevented it, won and remain in 5th place in the table. 
 
The team gave it their all on the pitch, developed the plan they had worked out to win in La Línea de la Concepción and proved practical and effective. With three centre-backs, they controlled Linense at ease, who were never comfortable because on top of that UD Almería 'B', with a trustworthy midfield, created greater danger. In fact, they could have gone down the tunnel in front.
 
It wasn't like that, but a few minutes after the game restart, Joan welcomed a rebound from the goalkeeper after a strike from Ballestero, but put the score at 0-1. With this result, the youthful Indálicos strengthened themselves much more to stick to their game plan and end up earning 3 massive points.
