1-0: ANTONETTI SHOWS THE WAY IN THE VICTORY OF THE B TEAM AGAINST ATLÉTICO DE MADRID 'B'

Sevilla Atlético secured a valuable away victory against Atlético de Madrid 'B'. After a first half of local dominance, in which Fernando Torres' team had two long-range attempts, Sevilla Atlético came out in the second half and outplayed Atlético de Madrid 'B'. Ibra, Miguel Sierra, and Íker Muñoz came close to giving Sevilla Atlético the lead during a period of strong dominance. As the match neared its end, a masterpiece from Antonetti from the edge of the box put Jesús Galván's side ahead, sealing the three points in the penultimate match of the 2024 season.

The home team would dominate the first half. The team managed by Fernando Torres created dangerous chances, focusing their attack on the left flank, where former Sevilla player Pablo Pérez and Niño would have the best local opportunities. The visiting side fought back, with Jesús Galván's team standing strong defensively, with the help of Ibra Sow and Bakary Sow providing relief near the goal defended by Alberto Flores. The Sevilla goalkeeper, with a great stretch, would deny a powerful shot from Pablo Pérez in the final minutes of the first half to keep the score at 0-0 before heading into the locker rooms.

In the second forty-five minutes, Sevilla Atlético came close to taking the lead with the best chance of the match. Bakary Sow spotted Ibra's run behind the local defense and played a brilliant pass to set up his teammate for a one-on-one against Iturbe, where the rojiblanco goalkeeper came out on top. As the hour mark approached, Sevilla Atlético began to suffocate the home team when trying to build from the back. Miguel Sierra, intercepting the ball near the local area, forced Iturbe to divert it to a corner to prevent a good shot from the Sevilla player. The local goalkeeper was also key, saving with quick reflexes to deny a powerful shot from Íker Muñoz.

The match was nearing its final moments without the Sevilla B team being able to reflect their superiority on the scoreboard. Mateo Mejía beat the opposing goalkeeper in a play that was ruled offside just moments before Antonetti's stunning goal, which brought justice to the scoreline. The Puerto Rican, from the edge of the box, struck a powerful left-footed shot on the turn that, after hitting the woodwork, became the decisive winning goal for Sevilla. In stoppage time, Alberto Flores became the hero in goal, making two great reflex saves to prevent the equalizer. Thus, Sevilla Atlético found their way back to victory before facing Betis Deportivo.
