Juvenil “D” strengthen their lead with a key victory over La Motilla
- Juvenil "D"
Sevilla FC’s Juvenil “D” side claimed an important victory over La Motilla in a decisive match at the training ground, consolidating their place at the top of the table ahead of the Christmas break
The match played last Friday at the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios Training Ground was of crucial importance for the league standings, as it brought together the top two teams in the table: Juvenil “D”, the current leaders, and La Motilla, who arrived in second place. Both sides came into the fixture in excellent form, with the home team unbeaten and holding a three-point advantage over their closest challengers.
From the opening whistle, Juvenil “D” took control of the game, dictating the tempo and dominating possession. The Sevilla side created the first clear chances of the match, including an early opportunity that was denied by the visiting goalkeeper. The hosts displayed fluid ball movement and generated several promising attacks in the opening minutes, although they initially struggled to turn dominance into goals.
The breakthrough came midway through the first half when Lucas Serna delivered an incisive pass to Sergio Chacón, who beat his marker and calmly finished inside the area to give the Nervión-based side the lead. In first-half stoppage time, La Motilla came close to equalising with a close-range effort that struck the post.
After the break, Sevilla FC Juvenil “D” once again showed composure and maturity, adapting well to the wet conditions following persistent rain. The team, led on the day by Alonso López, managed the game effectively despite the visitors’ attempts to draw level.
In the 71st minute, Alejandro Piña extended the advantage with the second goal of the match, effectively sealing the victory for the home side.
With this result, Juvenil “D” head into the Christmas break as outright leaders, while also reinforcing their status as the highest-scoring and best defensive team in the competition, having successfully navigated a demanding run of fixtures against the league’s strongest opponents.
