1-0: UD Almería 'B' put finishing touch on spectacular 2024 with well-deserved victory

The UDA Academy prospects won again at home as they got back to winning ways after two consecutive defeats to finish the first half of the season in promotion play-off positions

UD Almería 'B' have closed out a spectacular 2024 with a well-deserved,  hard-fought victory because in addition to achieving the long-awaited promotion to the Segunda RFEF, in their debut in the new tier,  the team are showing excellent form in their great performances as demonstrated by the fact that they finished the first half of the season in promotion play-off positions (4th).
 
The unstoppable Rojiblancos had lost their last two games, at home they had also lost points in their recent performances and they had to react to finish 2024 as they really deserved. They did not fail to put a finishing touch on 2024, despite the losses because there are several players who are training regularly with the first team.
 
The UD Almeria team gained momentum against Orihuela. Their rivals with greater experience, came out strong, ready to spring a surprise, but the Indálicos knew how to settle in the encounter, they were solid and ended the first half with clear chances that they failed to materialise.
 
In the second period, the team led by Alberto Lasarte took the initiative, had control and reigned superior. As a consequence of this, the goal came, a great goal from Joan in a brilliant solo play in the 62nd minute. The visitors pressed in search of an equaliser, while the Rojiblancos tried on the counter-attack. There were chances, but the scoreboard would no longer record more goals.
