Report: Talavera see off Madrileño in Alcalá | OneFootball

Atlético Madrileño hosted CF Talavera de la Reina in the sixth and second-to-last friendly match of the pre-season for Fernando Torres' team. The second and last match was played on field 2 of Alcalá de Henares, which this season features natural grass, unlike the artificial turf of previous years when the Femenino B team played in the Primera Federación (second division of women's football).

Fernando Torres' team lined up as follows: Mario de Luis; Romeo Hueso, Carlos Giménez, Gerónimo Spina, Dani Martínez (captain); Javi Morcillo, Taufik Seidu; Iker Luque, Jorge Castillo, Jorge Rajado; Miguel Cubo. Mario defended the goal of the reserve team since Salvador Esquivel was called up by the first team that same afternoon in the 1-1 draw against Elche at the Metropolitano. On the other hand, some substitutes and starters played, with Taufik Seidu making his debut in the pre-season for Madrileño.

The first half hour was clearly dominated by the red and whites, constantly attacking on both flanks between Jorge Rajado on the left and Romeo Hueso and especially Iker Luque on the right. The player from Vallecas managed to destabilize his rivals, forcing them to commit fouls on the edge of the Talavera area, but neither he nor Dani Martínez could find the goal. The approaches continued, with a change in the scheme: Jorge Castillo took Javi Morcillo's place in the double pivot, while the former Sabadell player was ordered to play as a 9 with Miguel Cubo. After the hydration break, which was taken after the first half hour of play, two approaches by Talavera on the left flank of Atleti resulted in two goals... that could have been avoided. Mario de Luis could do little to prevent the goals, as the shots were taken in the small area and almost point-blank.

The second half began with an incursion by Talavera on the opposite sector, which meant the third setback for the reserve team. A very lopsided score for what the match was, but which, fortunately, could be somewhat improved. Ilias Kostis came on for Jorge Rajado at halftime, and later Rayane Belaid, Sergio Esteban, Julio Díaz, Koke Mota, and Matías Barboza also entered the game. A cross from Romeo Hueso resulted in a rebound by the rival defense that Miguel Cubo took advantage of to push the ball and reduce the distance. Second goal for the player from Segovia, who, despite having been with the reserve team all pre-season, will most likely be part of the Juvenil A team coached by Ángel Donato.

Second defeat of the pre-season for Madrileño, who will face CD Guadalajara at their home stadium this Sunday at 8:00 PM.
