Rafa Márquez’s men achieved their second consecutive KO in a match marked by the unfair red card to Fermín
Before the break, the referee had annulled a legal goal against the Tarragona team
At the Nou Estadi Costa Daurada there was a very peculiar situation. Fermín López debuted with Barça Atlètic after having already made his debut with the Barça first team. The man from Huelva will remember him all his life, and unfortunately, not in a pleasant way, since he was unfairly sent off for a double yellow card at the start of the second half. Although the team rowed and rowed in defense, with a great Marc Vidal under the sticks, he ended up drowning on the shore. In added time, Gorostidi scored for Nàstic that now has seven out of nine. Márquez’s men, for their part, have started with two defeats and only one victory.

Incidents
Match of Matchday 3 of Group 1 of the Primera RFEF played at the Nou Estadi Costa Daurada in front of 7,103 spectators.
The first half was intense and full of alternatives. The hostilities began with Barça player Unai, but Nàstic replied with a distant and very intentional shot from Borja that put Vidal’s reflexes to the test. Later, Pablo Fernández headed over the crossbar.
From controversy to controversy
The Barça subsidiary began to fuel when Casadó and Fermín connected, in addition to the danger on the left of Unai, but it did not materialize on occasions except for a header from Gerard Martín. Before the break, Nàstic pushed again. Already in added time, Jaume Jardí scored a goal that should have gone up the scoreboard, because Gerard Martín was hooked. The ex-Barça player’s lateral left foot shot went between Marc Vidal’s legs, but the reserve team was saved as there was no VAR in the category.
The game began to shift at the start of the restart. In the first half, Fermín had seen a first yellow card for a foul in the center of the field that he protested. And he saw the red card in minute 47 for interpreting the referee -perhaps conditioned by the badly disallowed goal- who was continuously grabbing Pablo Fernández.
Marc Vidal and Faye exhibition… without reward
From here on, a constant attack by the team from Tarragona and a good defense by the subsidiary, with a great Mika Faye and a ‘tackle’ from the Senegalese inside the area to avoid a shot that points to very good manners. But above all, Marc Vidal stood out. David Concha and Gorka Santamaría had the clearest shot and in the other area, Percan almost scored on the rebound.
In the first minute of the six added time the resistance of the subsidiary ended. Corner, rebounds and right from the front of Gorostidi impossible for Vidal. There was still time for the Barça Atlètic players to go on a desperate attack, claim some hands inside the local area and almost reach Marc Guiu with a shot. But the KO was completed to the joy of the Nou Estadi.
