San Pedro knew they were in for a tough test against a young and energetic Atletico Malagueno B side. The visitors, the reserve team of a historic Andalusian club, moved the ball well from the start and looked dangerous on the break. However, UD San Pedro’s organised midfield and backline kept things tight, ensuring the first half remained goalless.
Second-Half Breakthrough Decides the Fixture
The decisive moment arrived shortly after the interval when UD San Pedro forced a corner. The delivery was floated to the back post, and a powerful header sent the ball into the back of the net to spark scenes of joy among the home supporters.
