A deceptive defeat (1-0)

Barça Atlètic conceded an early goal away to Denia and despite controlling most of the game could not find a way through the packed local defence.


Barça Atlètic will go into next weekend’s match against the league leaders with a 12-point deficit. The defeat against Denia combined with Sant Andreu’s victory against Badalona (2-1) means that the Barça reserves are now third with 47 points, a point behind Benidorm in second place.

Early goal

Denia took the lead after just six minutes through Borja but Barça Atlètic could have grabbed an early equalizer when Soriano was judged to have handled the ball into the net.

Barça react

The opening quarter of an hour belonged to Denia but Barça Atlètic gradually took control and only some fine saves from local keeper Vidal stopped Nolito, Sergi Roberto and Elvis from equalizing.

Tricky second half

Manager Luis Enrique brought on Thiago and Jonathan in the second half but the home team defended well and denied the visitors space to develop their football.

Barça Atlètic’s best chance of the match fell to Marc Bartra but it just wasn’t Barça Atlètic’s day.

The Denia players took every opportunity to waste time and the referee played no fewer than seven minutes of extra time.
