UE Olot maintained their unbeaten away record this season with a 4-2 victory over UD Logroñés B on Sunday, overcoming two separate deficits in a chaotic match defined by an early red card. The win marks the third road success for the Catalan side, who previously secured victories against Náxara and UD Logroñés.
Early Red Card Shifts Momentum
The match took a decisive turn in the 13th minute. After Dani Martínez opened the scoring for the hosts in the 11th minute by finishing a lateral cross, the game’s trajectory shifted when UD Logroñés B goalkeeper Eric was issued a straight red card for a challenge on Walid. The dismissal left the home side with ten men for the remainder of the contest, allowing Olot to capitalize on the increased space and possession.
Walid Levels the Score
Olot’s persistence in the attacking third yielded an equalizer in the 28th minute. Pablo Santiago delivered a cross into the box, which Walid met with a header to level the score at 1-1. Both teams exchanged opportunities before the halftime whistle, with Iñaki Campos testing the Olot defense and Walid narrowly missing a chance to put the visitors ahead before the break.
Second Half Tactical Adjustments
Roger Vidal introduced Marc Mas and Lluc Marguí at halftime to bolster the attack, but the visitors faced an immediate setback when the referee awarded a penalty to UD Logroñés B. Eder Larrea converted from the spot in the 50th minute, restoring the home side’s lead at 2-1. Despite the pressure, Olot responded quickly to reclaim control of the match.
Tenas and Mas Lead Olot to Victory
The comeback began in the 63rd minute when Marc Tenas leveled the score at 2-2 with a strike from distance. Shortly after, in the 71st minute, Marc Mas capitalized on a rebound following an Arumí shot to give Olot their first lead of the day at 3-2. The closing stages remained competitive, with Pol Ballesté making a critical save on a late header from Sorazu to preserve the advantage. Tenas finalized the 4-2 scoreline in the 95th minute, confirming the three points for the visitors.
Goals and Disciplinary Records Define the Match
The disciplinary record included the 13th-minute red card for Eric and cautions for Walid and Ocón. The goals were scored by Dani Martínez (11′), Walid (28′), Eder Larrea (50′ penalty), Marc Tenas (63′, 95′), and Marc Mas (71′).
