Fernando Torres and the reserve team fall into the trap of Antequera (0-1)

The red and white team could not overcome a rival that was more mature and played with the timing of the match.

Atlético de Madrid B lost at home to Antequera by 0-1 , the team they beat in their debut in the First Federation last season. At that time, Luis García Tevenet was the tenant of the Atlético de Madrid bench. That result was 2-0, with goals from Diego Bri and Abde Raihani, in the Atlético team's debut after its return to professional football.

El Niño opted from the start for Antonio Gomis , replacing Alejandro Iturbe , who is with the under-21s, and also for Iker Luque, after his saving goal in Alicante. The extrem from Vallecas made his first start with the Fuenlabrada player in the reserve team. Antequera suffered a quick loss: Iván Rodríguez replaced Luismi Luengo , an untimely injury that left him out of the match after 10 minutes.

The Atlético bench was crying out for an assault on Iker Luque after 16 minutes: “It’s an assault, it’s an assault!” they shouted at the referee. María Eugenia Gil Soriano didn’t have a very pleasant afternoon, so to speak, as the players didn’t make it easy for her. Carlos Giménez constantly went up the right wing, trying to create some danger.

Biabiany the danger

Jonathan Biabiany was the most dangerous player in Antequera , a French player with experience and a winning past. He was a player for Rafa Benítez 's Inter, becoming a world club champion with the Madrid coach. He even scored in the final against TP Mazembe , driving Pablo Pérez crazy, who brought him down on the edge of the touchline.

But the Andalusians struck first, after a miscalculation by Aitor Gismera , who gave the ball to Sidikki , who did nothing but finish. A blow for the red-and-whites, who were holding their own and found themselves conceding the first goal for the third consecutive game. The game became rough, rougher if possible, and the Malaga players fell and fell.

Luque was a starter

Iker Luque tried his luck with a nice slalom that was enough for him to shoot, and it went close to the post . Adrián Niño 's shot went a little further and wide, which were the only chances for the Madrid team. In the second half, the Fuenlabrada player sent his two recent signings, Mollejo and Serrano, out to warm up.

He brought them in in the 55th minute, when Victor Mollejo headed in just wide of the post, but the play was ruled offside. A goal was disallowed for Atletico Madrid after a great play by Ale Garcia , who assisted Adri Niño , who scored, but the linesman raised the flag and ruled it out. Julio Diaz didn't come in with his usual freshness, he was having trouble getting to the byline, and Mollejo couldn't make any difference.

One point out of nine

Atleti suffered from the Andalusians' attacks, which were like planes on the counterattack, with Biabiany always making the difference. Fernando Torres brought on Mestanza and Boñar, looking for solutions that were not forthcoming, the inaccuracies were repeated, Atlético was unable to overcome the Malaga team's pressure line.

The match ended with the pressure from the home bench on the referee, who was very discreet in her performance. Adrián Niño tried, Mollejo pressed, and Joaquín appeared in attack to contribute, but his shot went wide. End of another defeat for the reserve team, a worrying start with one point out of nine , and now Alcorcón .
