Barça Atlètic Draw 1-1 Despite Second-Half Fight

Barça Atlètic salvaged a 1-1 draw against Alcoyano at Johan after a strong second-half performance, but failed to complete the comeback.

Barça Atlètic could only manage a 1-1 draw against Alcoyano despite improving significantly in the second half. The visitors played with a compact defensive strategy that limited Barcelona's play until after the break when Belletti's team began to play with more fluidity and speed.

The equalizer came too late for a complete turnaround, and the match ended in disappointment with Jofre Torrents forced off injured shortly after his introduction. Medical assessments suggest the injury could be serious, casting a shadow over the result.
