Atlético Baleares consolidates third position with a win against Espanyol’s reserve team (1-0)

CD Atlético Baleares secured three points after defeating RCD Espanyol B (1-0) at Estadio Balear in the match corresponding to the thirteenth matchday of the Segunda RFEF (Group III). Jaume Mut’s team prevailed thanks to a solitary goal by Sergio Moreno after the break.

The match began with dominance from ATB, while RCD Espanyol’s reserve team tried with individual actions. Forniés and Toni Ramón were the players who created the most danger, and on the visiting team’s side, Sadik and Ferran Gómez tried with a dangerous double action. The first half ended goalless.

After the restart, Sergio Moreno anticipated a second play to score the only goal of the match. After the goal, there were no more dangerous chances. Neither Morillas nor the visiting goalkeeper had to make significant efforts to prevent goals. Shortly before the end, Bover and Plomer had two opportunities, but the match ended 1-0 with Atlético Baleares in third position in the standings, three points behind the leader, although the latter has played one game less.

Jaume Mut’s words

“It was a hard-fought victory against a great opponent. We knew what they were capable of, and they showed it. We played a very good match against a team that hadn’t lost in eight games. It was a deserved victory against a great opponent.”

“Regarding Josep Jaume, we don’t know yet. It could be a nasal septum fracture. We will see.”

“We are not satisfied with our current position. We want to climb higher and aim for the top. We will keep working to ensure no one is ahead of us.”

“I want to see my team without mistakes but playing with the courage we showed in the first half. You want to have an identity, and we want to be an important team.”

“The worst thing was the injury to Espanyol’s player. I send him a big hug from here.”
