Goalless draw for Sevilla “D” in a demanding Friendly against Atlético Algabeño

Last Saturday, March 28, Sevilla “D” faced a highly demanding friendly fixture against Atlético Algabeño, a team competing in a higher division, offering an excellent opportunity to assess the competitive level of the Nervión-based side.

The match began with a determined and ambitious Sevilla, fully aware of the challenge ahead. From the opening minutes, the team displayed high intensity and quickly created danger. In the second minute, Abdullah Aljirafi had the first chance following an impressive team move, but the home goalkeeper denied the goal. Just five minutes later, Kohen Caminiti produced one of the clearest opportunities in a one-on-one situation, attempting a lob that sailed just over the crossbar.

Throughout the first half, Sevilla “D” showcased a dynamic, fluid, and vertical style of play, imposing their identity on the match. The midfield leadership of Pedro Berruezo, alongside Edu Mangles and Khalid Aljirafi, enabled the team to create up to eight dangerous attacking situations, although none were converted. Atlético Algabeño, meanwhile, posed limited threat, with their best effort being a long-range shot comfortably handled by Mario Rodríguez.

After the break, the dynamics of the game shifted. The home side raised their competitive level and managed to balance the contest. The second half was more physical and contested, with frequent interruptions. Nevertheless, Sevilla “D” continued to generate clear chances, including a notable opportunity for Fidel Morán, which ultimately did not find the target.

In the end, the score remained unchanged, and the match concluded in a goalless draw, reflecting both the balance of play and the lack of clinical finishing in both penalty areas. Despite this, Sevilla “D” can take away positive conclusions, having competed on equal terms against a higher-division opponent and demonstrating clear collective progress.
