1-3: UD Almería B back on the winning trail away from home to remain in play-offs picture
The UDA Academy prospects recorded their second consecutive victory to remain in the promotion zone. Joan, Rachad and Valen earned their names onto the scoresheet in the game against Arenas de Armilla CyD CF
UD Almería 'B' have achieved their second consecutive victory and remains for one more week in the promotion play-off picture. This time, the boys overcame Arenas de Armilla leaving them, almost definitively, out of the race to enter the play-offs for promotion. The Academy Rojiblancos began by losing the game with the early opener from Isra Peláez, however, before the first half ended, Joan managed to tie the game. In the second period, Rachad and Valen found the back of the net to make it 1-3.
UD Almería 'B' started the first half slow out the traps since, in the 10th minute, Isra put the hosts ahead, giving them the lead. As a result, the visitors began to create threatening situations and try to level it up as soon as possible. In the 21st minute, Aarón, with a low cross shot, would be close to achieving it and in the 27th, Marcos Peña made it, although his goal would be chalked off due to a very doubtful offside. The one that was going to count was Joan's, who 32 minutes in, took advantage of a ball to the far post from peer Hugo Neves to equalise (1-1).
Alberto Lasarte's team could have gone into the break on the lead since Aarón, who was very active throughout the game, hit the post after a great solo play.
In the second half, the Indálicos continued with their good attacking capacity and in the 53rd minute, Rachad made it 1-2 after taking advantage of a rebound inside the box. The guests continued to create danger and once again, Rachad hammered it in, although the referee whistled a handball by the attacker, so the goal would not be recorded on the scoreboard.
From that moment on, the match entered a phase without much end-to-end activity, but inside 90 minutes, with Arenas de Armilla completely dedicated to grabbing the leveller, Indálico Valen beat the goalkeeper in a one-on-one with a great lob goal to seal the away victory and the three points for UD Almería 'B'.
