Juvenil A took the lead in the quarterfinal tie of the Copa de Campeones against Athletic Club after winning the first leg held at the Ciudad Real Madrid. Two goals at the start of the second half from Carlos Díez and Barroso secured an important victory to face the return leg next week in Lezama.

The first half ended goalless, but the madridista team dominated possession and had the clearest chances to open the scoring. After the break, Álvaro López's team accelerated and scored two goals within five minutes, between the 50th and 55th minutes. The first came from Carlos Díez with a shot inside the box, and the second was a header by Barroso from a cross by Valero. Athletic Club looked to narrow the gap in the final moments, but our team remained solid defensively and also had a few more chances to extend the lead ahead of the return leg, which will take place on Wednesday, the 13th, at 5:00 pm, at the Bilbao field.
