Match report: El Madrileño hit four and take Tarazona by storm | OneFootball

After the goalless draw against Hércules, Atlético Madrileño traveled to Tarazona seeking to earn 3 points away from Alcalá de Henares. A unique visit, as it was their first time in the Primera Federación. In the first leg, they were a tough opponent, resulting in a 1-1 draw in the reserve team's first match in 2026, but our team wanted to take their personal revenge.

Fernando Torres' team lined up as follows: Mario de Luis; Javier Boñar, Aleksa Puric, Dani Martínez, Marko Perovic; Javi Serrano, Martín Bellotti; Iker Luque, Rafa Llorente, Arnau Ortiz; Miguel Cubo. The eleven chosen by the Niño took to the field with the attitude every team should always have: eager to win.

And that's what they did in the first 10 minutes, with a shot from outside the box that grazed the crossbar. However, the locals attacked the spaces on the counter despite constantly being caught offside. Minutes passed, and it seemed the pattern was set... until Perovic fell into the trap and inadvertently committed a small foul on Agüero, enough for the referee to award a penalty. By the way, one day we might get a decent view of the action, as it seemed the player from Tarazona was offside. For whatever reason, it won't happen. And Tarazona took the lead.

But if this team has shown anything, it's that even in their worst moments, they have managed to bounce back. With varying degrees of success. At halftime, a triple change: Rayane, Julio, and Jano came on. A little later, a cross from Arnau Ortiz and a header from Rafa Llorente to equalize. First goal for the former Alcorcón player and fourth assist for the Catalan. Same protagonists, different roles in the 1-2. A fantastic counterattack by Rafa with a self-pass included and an assist to Arnau, who, with a powerful precise shot, completed the comeback.

Toni Ramón saw the second yellow card, and the Aragonese team was left with a numerical disadvantage, which the Madrileño took advantage of to extend the lead on the scoreboard. Once again, Arnau Ortiz appeared on the counterattack to finish in the small area after a pass from Iker Luque, who made a run from his own half. The player from Vallecas thus adds his 5th assist and his 8th goal contribution this season, after overcoming some minor discomfort he had been dealing with for weeks.

And the icing on the cake was provided by Julio Díaz and Rayane Belaid, with Jano as the third party involved. The three who came on at halftime, precisely. A change of direction from the player from Zaragoza to the one from San Fernando de Henares, who, with a header, set up the player from Orihuela to score the fourth goal for the red and whites with his right foot.

How things changed in the standings from 1-0 to 1-4. With the provisional defeat, the reserve team dropped to 4th position. After the comeback, they returned to 2nd place and cut 2 points from Sabadell, who drew in their visit to Nàstic. The next match will be against FC Cartagena in Alcalá de Henares on Saturday, March 21st at 18:30. The following week, they will play at home again against Antequera to close out March. Key matches to stay in the fight for direct promotion.
