Barça Atlètic started slowly against Alcoyano, who maintained a compact defensive formation that limited Barcelona's attacking options. The home side improved significantly after conceding, playing with increased tempo and fluidity to find an equalizer.
Despite the improved performance, Barça couldn't find a winner to complete the comeback. The match was also overshadowed by an injury to Jofre Torrents, who had to be stretchered off shortly after coming on, with early reports suggesting the injury is serious.
