Nàstic 1-0 Barça Atlètic: Defeat away from home
Barça Atlètic were unable to round off the week with a second win in a row after Rafa Márquez's team went down to defeat in Tarragona against Nàstic. Following a win and a draw in their last two matches, a goal on the stroke of half time from Robert Simón was enough to decide the encounter in the home side's favour.
Only goal of the game
In the opening half both sides had opportunities to open the scoring but failed to take them. Then, just when it appeared that the two teams would go in at half time goalless, Nàstic took the lead. The home side went ahead with Robert Simón turning home a cross right on the stroke of half time.
The goal was a psychological blow for Rafa Márquez's team but they did have chances to equalise in the second half. The best opportunity fell to Fabio Blanco who failed to hit the target with just three minutes of the game remaining.
Nàstic also could have added another when Gorostidi hit the post but in the end Simón's goal was enough for victory for the home side and to end Barça Atlètic's recent run of positive results.
