Barça Atlètic 2-1 Sestao River: Prestigious win

Barça Atlètic have seen off Sestao River to the tune of a 2-1 win. Mikayil Faye and Pau Víctor were on target for the home side and although the visitors pulled one back, the Catalans held on to make it eight games without defeat.

The Mikayil Faye goal came from a splendid conversion of an Unai Hernández corner, the Senegalese defender showing that he also has what it takes to support the attack with his third goal this term

It was no less than the home side deserved after enjoying all the big chances until then, and they then got a let-off when a visiting goals was cancelled out for an earlier foul.

Barça instead struck a second time, Marc Casadó powering down the wing following a fine piece of teamwork and then flipping in the lovely cross that Pau Víctor steered into the net to make it 2-0.

Jon Guruzeta combined nicely with Aitor Aranzabe to produce a goal for Setao just after the break, and with the game on a knife-edge, both teams battled hard for their respective causes in for the remainder of the match, with the two goalkeepers both producing key saves to ensure things remained the way they were.
