Sestao River 2-2 Barça Atlètic: Another point on the road

Barça Atlètic have drawn away from home for the second time in a row after a fascinating contest this Sunday at Sestao.

Things began with an early goal from Unai following a lovely passing move, and on a difficult playing surface Barça continued to control the early minutes. But Sestao River slowly got more and more involved, and eventually started warming the gloves of debutant goalkeeper Eder Aller. 

Early in the second half they finally did it, Sergi pouncing on a Cuenca rebound following a corner, and this led to a long spell in which the home side looked a lot more in control. Barça Atlètic needed to regroup, and eventually did so, and Unai will be furious with himself for failing to tuck away a simple chance.

Just when Barça Atlètic were finally back on top, Sestao again struck from a corner, Córdero the scorer very much against the run of play during that phase of the game. Barça had no choice but to go all-out attack in the hope of salvaging something, and they achieved exactly that with a late penalty after Cedric was tugged down in the area. Unai accepted the responsibility, and thus claimed his second goal of the day. 

Had it not been for a stunning late save by Herrerín, Barça Atlètic could even have been returning home with the full three points. The first away win of the season will have to wait, but at least the reserves are collecting points from their trips around the country.
