Atlético Madrileño to face Ponferradina in Segunda play-off semi-finals | OneFootball

Atlético Madrileño won their final match of the regular season in the Segunda Federación, finishing third and being drawn against Ponferradina for the promotion playoff to Segunda. For much of the matchday, Fernando Torres’ side was in third place, but Sabadell’s victory in the final minutes pushed them into that position. The first of the two ties they must win to earn promotion to the Segunda División will be against Ponferradina.

The tie will be played over two legs, with the first leg taking place on the weekend of May 30/31 at the Estadio El Toralín. The return leg, one week later, on the weekend of June 6/7, will be held at the Ciudad Deportiva de Alcalá de Henares. It is a tie that favors Atlético Madrileño, since if the second leg ends level, the match will go to extra time. And if extra time also ends in a draw, the red-and-white side would advance to the promotion final because they finished higher in the standings. The kick-off times for the tie will be announced in the coming hours.
