Report: Boñar spark wild scenes in Alcalá | OneFootball

After the defeat in Cartagena, Atlético Madrileño returned to Alcalá de Henares to host the other team from the Region and also a candidate for promotion to LaLiga Hypermotion, in need of finally securing 3 points in a challenging league start.

Fernando Torres' team lined up as follows: Salvador Esquivel | Javier Boñar – Aleksa Puric – Mati Barboza – Julio Díaz | Martín Bellotti – Javi Serrano | Iker Luque – Rayane Belaid – Arnau Ortiz | Darío Sits. Arnau Ortiz and Darío Sits debuted as starters, with it being the first match for the Latvian as a rojiblanco and the second for Arnau, after his impressive minutes in Cartagena including a goal.

The first half was evenly matched in the sense that there was no clear dominance by one team during the first 45 minutes. Up until the half-hour mark, the opponent was better, until Arnau Ortiz decided to take the team on his shoulders and created the clearest chances for the reserves with his 1 vs 1. Iker Luque was incisive on the right flank, although his shot went over the opponent's goal, and Boñar was close to scoring with a header after a cross from Iker. A penalty was requested for a foul on Julio Díaz, but the referee reviewed the play in the FVS and decided to book the full-back for simulation.

At the start of the second half, a long ball from Gazzaniga was headed by Pedro Benito, gaining position over Barboza and leaving Flakus alone to score the first goal of the match completely unmarked. A cold shower in the first dangerous action of the second half. Ilias Kostis came on for Mati Barboza who, apparently, got injured in the defensive action. Minutes passed and two more changes were made: Jano Monserrate and Omar Janneh replaced Javi Serrano and Darío Sits, who barely participated in the team's offensive play.

Salvador Esquivel made a very good double save against Alex Schalk when the grana winger approached the rojiblanco area on the run. Arnau Ortiz was fouled in the area, reviewed in the FVS, and again the referee indicated there was nothing. Even in reviews, the reserves are having no luck. Boñar had a chance with a header but his downward shot went over the goal, and the same for Puric in the next set-piece action. Miguel Cubo and Koke Mota came on as the last changes, for Martín Belotti and Arnau Ortiz.

After 7 minutes of added time, during which the opponent scored but it was ultimately annulled after review, the team continued to threaten the opponent's goal and, after a set-piece play finished by Puric, Boñar sent a strike from outside the area and Flakus slightly deflected the ball for it to enter the opponent's goal, scoring the 1-1 in the last minute of injury time. Madness erupted in Alcalá de Henares, with a mini heart attack due to the mandatory review of all goals since this season.

With this draw, Madrileño adds its second point of the season in extremis and will visit Betis Deportivo at CD Luis del Sol next Saturday, September 20 at 14:00.

THE GOOD

Javier Boñar's goal to earn a point for the reserves after the team's push as time ran out. First goal for the full-back-midfielder-center-back-winger-whatever he fancies, because he is very, very good.

THE UGLY

Sadly, we have to talk about refereeing again. Although the first reviewed penalty wasn't one, the foul on Arnau Ortiz can indeed be said to be enough to call for a penalty. Not only that: the constant fouls by the opponent without bookings, while the opposite happened with Madrileño.

THE BAD

The goal conceded due to a new unforced individual error. Mati Barboza couldn't clear Gazzaniga's long delivery, which led to Flakus' goal. Yes, the opponent had several shots hit the woodwork, but our own mistakes end up penalizing us.
