0-1: UD Almería U19 A win to continue in the race to reach the first place
Rachad's sole goal on 90+1 sealed a vital victory against San Roque Balompie
UD Almería U19 'A' achieved victory and three massive points in stoppage time thanks to Rachad's match-winning goal. The UDA Academy products continue fighting to reach first place in Group IV of the Division de Honor Juvenil league.
The match was complicated for Alberto Lasarte's boys as the rivals had very clear ideas about their game approach from the get go with threatening counter-attacks. In fact, they had two big chances denied by Bruno Iribarne. The visitors were solid throughout the match and made it really difficult for the UD Almeria lads to create scoring opportunities.
In the second half, the talented Rojiblancos gained momentum with more team spirit to create chances courtesy of Leal and Fede Oliva. In the end, Rachad scored a powerful header on 90'+1 from a corner-kick to take three vital points home to continue fighting for the first place.
