UD Almería 'B' achieved an important victory over Arenas de Armilla CyD CF that brings them closer to the play-off spots. The UD Almería youngsters played a good game in all their lines with absolute confidence defending and playing direct to push their opponents back and create countless chances. It was the hosts who created the better plays with Valen playing a leading role after getting off the mark this season. In the second half, Loren took advantage of an effective pass from Keven to double their lead .
UD Almería 'B' jumped onto the Anexo grass with quite clear ideas and game plan, opportunities began to arrive, some of them very clear like a head-to-head with Valen's effort being denied by the goalkeeper. However, he couldn't score the goal in that first half. It was all square at the break.
As soon as the second period kicked off, the well-deserved goal award would arrive. Valen, who had been the most outstanding player in the first half, beat the visitor keeper following a great solo play. UD Almería 'B' managed to hold on to that result with effectiveness in the defence until near the full-time whistle, Loren slammed in the second and final goal that leaves the three points at home and brings the UD Almería lads closer to the play-off spots.
