UD Almería 'B' remain invictus away from home after registering a valuable draw in the Sevillian town of Lebrija against Club Atlético Antoniano, who had just beaten the then leaders. The UDA prospects had to come back from behind as the hosts took the lead in the 4th minute.
One more Matchday, the team led by Alberto Lasarte did not have a good start to the game and paid for it. But as has also happened in other matches, the Rojiblancos had the ability to react and before half-time they found the leveller through Alex Mendes, who scored a great goal, beating the Antoniano goalkeeper with a shot taken from the edge of the area.
In the second half, both sides had opportunities to tip the balance, but the scoreboard would no longer change. In the 79th minute, UD Almería 'B' were reduced to 10 man as Cantón, who had just come onto the pitch, received his marching orders for a dangerous tackle.
Despite this setback, the 'B' team knew how to hold on. It is worth highlighting the spirited display of all the players, especially that of goalkeeper Jesús López, who made brilliant saves.
