The youthful Rojiblancos prospects cruise to 3–0 win over future league rivals at the Pinatar Arena
UD Almería ‘B’ continued their strong pre-season form with a convincing 3–0 victory over UD Melilla in a friendly held at the Pinatar Arena. The win came in what was the 6th warm-up fixture for Alberto Lasarte’s side, who look sharp ahead of the upcoming 2025/26 Segunda RFEF Group IV campaign.
Facing a newly promoted UD Melilla outfit that will also compete in Group IV this season, the youthful Rojiblancos showed their superiority throughout the friendly. Goals from Iker Burgos (27’), Yago Paredes (63’), and Nico Fernández (82’) sealed a commanding performance.
Mr Lasarte fielded a starting XI of Zorro, Agulló, Edu Pla, Miguel, Alberto, Romera, Asirón, Tomazinho, Hugo, Marciano and Iker Burgos, with plenty of rotation throughout the game. Koke, Nacho Vila, Cantón, Nico Fernández, Torres, Yago Paredes, Marsu, Dani Sánchez, Hou and Nacho Rubio also saw minutes.
UD Almería ‘B’ now head into their 5th week of pre-season preparations, with a triangular tournament set for next Saturday against UD Ciudad de Torredonjimeno and Real Jaén.
