Sevilla Atlético suffered a defeat on their visit to La Constitución against Yeclano Deportivo. Jesús Galván's team, who came into the match fighting for a playoff spot for promotion to the second division after securing five consecutive victories, were unable to capitalize on a very even contest. The home side secured their goals at crucial moments. Just before halftime, Olmedo put Yeclano Deportivo ahead from a set piece with a bit of luck. In the first play of the second half, Serpeta sealed the home victory.
In the first half, Rivera tried to tip the balance in Sevilla Atlético’s favor with their first dangerous attack. The Sevilla midfielder, seizing a loose ball at the edge of the box, struck it powerfully, but his shot was deflected into the hands of the goalkeeper, the least beaten keeper in the entire division. The game remained evenly matched until the end of the first half when the home side took the lead with a bit of luck. After a questionable foul was called near Sevilla’s box, Olmedo made it 1-0 as the ball deflected off the wall, changing its trajectory, leaving Alberto Flores helpless in goal.
They came out much more energized in the second half, and Solsona extended the lead at the far post after a great individual play by Serpeta, who had just come onto the pitch. The home side gained confidence with the goal that gave them breathing room, though they couldn’t secure the win with another goal thanks to an outstanding performance from Alberto Flores throughout the second half. A key moment in the final stretch was Juank’s debut with the reserve team this season. With this defeat, Sevilla Atlético sees their incredible five-game winning streak come to an end before traveling to the Spanish capital to face Real Madrid Castilla in a reserve team showdown.
