4-0: UD Almería 'B' find it difficult to get season up and running
The young Indálicos face an early setback against Deportiva Minera from Murcia but look to bounce back in upcoming fixture against Águilas FC
UD Almería 'B' faced a difficult challenge on Matchday 4 of the Segunda RFEF, suffering a crushing 4-0 defeat to second-placed Deportiva Minera. Despite a dominant first half from the hosts, the young Indálicos showed resilience and will be looking to improve in their next outing.
The game could not have started worse for UD Almería 'B', conceding a goal within the first 3 minutes. Deportiva Minera quickly asserted their dominance, controlling the match with clinical finishing, including a hat-trick from Rubén Mesa. By half-time, the scoreline read 4-0, leaving little hope for a turnaround.
Alberto Lasarte made a triple substitution at the start of the second half, bringing in more attacking options in a bid to change the flow of the match. Despite the changes, the young UD Almería side struggled to break down a disciplined Deportiva Minera defence.
The loss, while tough, provides valuable lessons for the youth team as they prepare to face Águilas FC on Sunday at the Anexo pitch. The young Indálicos will aim to bounce back and make a stronger showing in their next league fixture on home turf.
