2-1: UD Almería U19 'A' become Group 4 leaders in 'Division de Honor'
The UD Almería hopefuls came back from behind to beat Seneca and take advantage of draw between rivals Betis and Recreativo de Huelva.
UD Almería U19s 'A', competing in 'Division de Honor', which is the top tier at the U19 national level, have become the sole leaders of their group after wrapping up their 11th successive victory in the championship and taking advantage of the draw between Betis, with whom they shared top spot, and Recreativo de Huelva. As a result, the teenage Rojiblancos are two points above the Béticos and five ahead of third-placed Sevilla FC.
Alberto Lasarte's youth side are having a scintillating season with 11 wins in a row and 14 games unbeaten. The group in which they compete, the fourth, is one of the highest tiers at U19 level due to the potential of rival youth academies with the likes of Sevilla FC and Betis, although UD Almería are doing better than them.
The under-19s 'A' have not had it easy against Seneca at all, who took the lead in the second period, but the young Indalicos had the excellent capacity to react and come from behind, collecting the three points in injury time.
