Weekend roundup at La Academia | OneFootball

Another weekend completed for the Academy teams, with generally positive results and several names we highlight below:

ATLÉTICO MADRILEÑO

Fernando Torres’ side drew 1-1 against Real Murcia in Alcalá de Henares at the last minute, in what was the third matchday in group 2 of the Primera Federación. In what would be his 80th match wearing the reserve team’s shirt, Javier Boñar became the hero by rescuing a point against Murcia in the 98th minute, in a match where players like Salvador Esquivel (his first start of the season) and Iker Luque were the standouts.

With this, there are now three different scorers for the reserves so far. Coincidentally, two of them are defenders: Puric (center-back) and Boñar (full-back). In the next matchday, they will visit Betis Deportivo at their ground on Saturday the 20th starting at 14:00.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID C

Manel Ruano’s team continues their good run with a 0-1 win away at Tres Cantos in a fairly even match where the home side could have picked up points. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case and Jesús Barrios’ goal, assisted by a backheel from Sergio Esteban in the second half, was enough. Barrios (no relation to Pablo, just in case) scores his first goal, adding to his assist for Sergio Vinatea in the first matchday against Carabanchel in Majadahonda and continuing the good impression the winger has made at the start of the league.

In the next matchday they will host México FC at Cerro del Espino on Sunday, September 21 at 11:30, looking for another home win.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID JUVENIL A

Ángel Donato’s team couldn’t pick up their first 3 points of the season after a goalless draw in Badajoz. A pity, knowing that our neighbors won comfortably at home and that means starting the league lower in the table… but it’s a long season. Now it’s time to prepare for the visit to Liverpool, which will be the first matchday of the Youth League group stage.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID JUVENIL B

Javier Peñas’ side won 1-0 in Majadahonda against recently relegated Móstoles URJC with a solitary goal from Guillermo Trujillano, who placed his shot inside the right post of the opponent’s goal. A good start for the second youth team, who aim to make a big impact this season. In the next matchday, they will visit RSD Alcalá at the CD in the city of Alcalá. Facilities, by the way, that both teams share.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID FEMENINO B

Lydia Vizcaíno’s girls keep moving upwards after beating Alba Fundación 3-0 and moving into the top spots in the women’s Primera Federación. With a brace from Celia Gómez and another goal from Natalia, the red-and-whites have 6 out of 6 points at the start of the league against two important teams in the category, with 5 goals for and only 1 against, which didn’t even affect the outcome of the matches.

In the next matchday, they will host Betis Femenino in Alcalá de Henares on September 20 from 17:00, aiming to defend their lead.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID FEMENINO C

Unfortunately, this was the negative news of the weekend. The second women’s reserve team suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat away to Celta de Vigo, and have picked up just 1 point from a possible 6 at the start of the competition. But what matters is not how you start, but how you recover from setbacks and how you finish the season. There’s still a long way to go in the league.
