Weekend roundup at La Academia (18-19 October) | OneFootball

Another competition weekend has ended for the La Academia teams and, very likely due to the results, it was the most positive yet for the red-and-whites. As every Monday, we proceed to analyze it:

ATLÉTICO MADRILEÑO

Fernando Torres’ men remain in great form. Being two weeks without playing mattered little or nothing: a resounding win over Juventud Torremolinos and a fourth straight victory for the reserves, who stay near the top of the table. Despite the first 10 minutes, the red-and-whites went ahead thanks to a penalty converted by Omar Janneh, and just before halftime, Javier Boñar made it 2-0 with a header from a corner.

The opposition pulled one back in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to stop the team, and Castillo opened his account by heading in a cross from Iker Luque. Three important points to sit 3rd with 14 points and, if they win Wednesday’s postponed match against Hércules, they would return to the top.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID C

Although the match was far from their best—despite being played in Majadahonda—Manel Ruano’s side beat Trival Valderas 2-1 with goals from Taufik Seidu and top scorer Jesús Barrios. Taufik, back getting minutes with the second reserve team, netted his first with a bit of help from the defense and put in a solid display, while Barrios, even if somewhat inconsistent during the game, was once again decisive in dribbling and scored a sensational golazo to reach 6 goals and 1 assist in 7 matches in the Tercera Federación.

Las Rozas and Leganés B did their job, so the reserves remain third, but there’s a long season left to pursue the aim of direct promotion to the Segunda Federación.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID JUVENIL A

Ángel Donato’s boys are still enjoying themselves in Alcalá de Henares, winning 2-0 against Las Rozas thanks to a brace from Daniel Fitzgerald and two assists from Adrián Martínez. With a clean sheet to boot, the red-and-whites remain untouchable at home, but the key remains: winning away. This Tuesday at 14:00 in London comes matchday three of the league phase of the UEFA Youth League.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID JUVENIL B

Javier Peñas’ side won 0-4 at Ciudad de Getafe, with goals from Guillermo Trujillano, David Meza, and a brace from Álex Cabrera, who is gradually becoming important in terms of numbers. Trujillano added another to keep his scoring streak going, and this team plays wonderfully even at half throttle.

YOUTH CATEGORIES

Cadete A won 1-2 at Las Rozas with goals from Nico Carrasco and Julen Sánchez; Cadete B won 9-1 against Santa Ana with goals from Iker Fernández (x2), Marco Amaya (x2), Benjamín Fernández, and a hat-trick from Adrián Díaz-Jiménez; and Infantil A won the derby against Real Madrid 4-0 with goals from Pedro Fernández, Emilio Obama, and a brace from Marco Zoran.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID FEMENINO B

Lydia Carrasco’s side picked up a point after a goalless draw against Valencia in Alcalá de Henares. Beyond not being able to win—and not doing so at home—it’s extremely important to get points and keep a clean sheet. Remember: the objective is to develop players and stay up.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID FEMENINO C

Another point for the second women’s reserve team, which drew 0-0 away at Olímpico de León. It’s not enough to get out of the relegation zone, but it closes the gap to the point where they’re now level on points with Eibar B, the team just above the drop.
