Arenteiro 2-0 Barça Atlètic: Defeat in Galicia

A tight game, but the reserves reach the halfway stage of the league season with a loss

Barça Atlètic are coming back empty handed from O Carballiño, Galicia, where they were beaten 2-0 on Saturday. It was a tight game that ultimately came down to whoever was going to take the chances when they came, and that team turned out to be the one playing at home. Played under intense rain throughout, it means Barça have dropped to seventh in the table, outside of the playoff places for now, and with several of the teams directly above them yet to play.

Barça were looking good in a fast.paced match, but failed to find the net in a first half that instead saw Chacón blast the home side ahead with a superb long-range effort on 39 minutes

Barça played the patient game, working and working away to get a goal back, but Arenteiro were having none of it.But just when it looked liek gaps were finally starting to open among a tiring home defence, substitute Cardero doubled the difference.

There were still 15 minutes for Barça to find some kind of way back into the game, but it just wasn't happening, and this one goes down as a disappointing defeat.
