Atlético Baleares show their quality against Alzira (3-0)

CD Atlético Baleares claimed all three points at Estadio Balear after defeating UD Alzira (3-0) in Matchday 29 of the Segunda RFEF (Group III). The blue-and-whites delivered a perfect first half. Tovar, Florin Andone, and a lively Moha were decisive all over the pitch.

After several clear chances in the first 30 minutes, Florin Andone opened the scoring thanks to a great assist from Moha on the right wing. It was the number 7 himself who netted the second with a brilliant solo effort. The score was 2-0 at halftime. After the break, the visitors pushed forward and had two good chances but failed to find the net.

Around the 60th minute, Moha and Tovar were close to scoring a third. In the 78th minute, the definitive 3-0 arrived. Florin Andone beat the keeper to a loose ball and tapped it in for the final goal. With this win, Atlético Baleares are now 11 games unbeaten, remain third in the table, and close the gap to the top two. The team travels to Barcelona next to face fourth-placed Espanyol in a key match in the promotion race.

Luis Blanco’s statements:

“We did a lot of things right. The opponent was tough. They had only lost three games all season. We didn’t allow them to feel comfortable and we had a sense of control and were able to create a lot.”

“Overall we’re very happy. At times during the match we moved the ball very well.”

“Keita and Andone showed their quality. It was their day, and that’s what we ask from them. They delivered with the ball and helped us a lot.”

“We created many chances, but on the negative side, there were moments where we allowed them to break. Still, once we gained the advantage, we had a lot of scoring opportunities.”

“This team can do even more, and we can keep things more under control. There’s still room for improvement.”
