Àlex Campos, hero for Barça Atlètic, score last-minute winner keep playoff hope alive

Barça Atlètic don show say dem get heart of lion. For Estadi Johan Cruyff, dem bin dey lose 0-1 against Atlètic Lleida until time don almost finish. But na for added time, dem turn the match around with two goals wey make everybody happy.

First, na Víctor Barberà wey score for minute 92. E bin use fine header wey Brian Fariñas cross come put ball inside net. That goal don give the team hope. But dem still need more to win.

Then for minute 96, the last minute of added time, na young boy Àlex Campos, wey be 18 years old, wey stand up tall for the box and use im head score the winning goal. The ball enter net sweetly. Na im be the unexpected hero.

After the match, Campos talk say: “For the field, you no dey think too much. Na instinct. I see the ball there and I say: I go use all my power and whatever go happen, happen. And by God’s grace, e enter.”

Campos come from the Juvenil A team of Pol Planas. He don stay for Barça Atlètic for many months. He start for the second match of the season, when dem win for Narcís Sala. Since February, he don play most of the matches. He be starter for nine games and don sit for bench for three. Only one match he miss because he dey with Spain under-19 team.

With Álvaro Cortés as partner for defense, Campos don grow well. Belletti and im coaching staff don help shape am. Campos be central defender wey get speed. E fit defend well for open field because e fast. E get the touch of a La Masia player wey dey play as central defender and stand about 186 centimeters tall.

Campos first come to La Masia from Atlètic Segre, where e dey play as midfielder. But for Barcelona, dem turn am to defender and e go continue there.

Now, Barça Atlètic dey sixth position with 52 points. The same points as Reus wey dey fifth and inside playoff zone. The last match of the season, Barça Atlètic go play away against Torrent, wey don already drop. Reus go visit Terrassa, wey no get chance to finish for playoff position again.

Barça Atlètic need to finish with more points than Reus because Reus get better head-to-head record. But another chance be say if Alcoyano, wey dey fourth with 54 points, lose dem match against Porreres, wey be last position and don already drop, then Barça Atlètic fit still enter playoff.

The match wey Barça Atlètic play against Atlètic Lleida bin get plenty drama. For first half, Soule Sidibe hit the post for Lleida. Jaume Pascual also force Diego Kochen to make big save. For minute 25, Soule put cross between Guillem Víctor legs and Joan Campins score with a nutmeg on Kochen to make am 0-1 for Lleida.

Barça Atlètic try to reply. Álvaro Cortés hit a shot wey go hit post. But after half time, the team lose spark. Lleida get chances to score second goal but dem no take am. Then for added time, the miracle happen. Barberà score first. Then Campos score the winner.

Between the two goals, Kochen make a big save to stop Lleida from scoring second. And there be a possible penalty on Barberà wey the referee no give. But Campos still find the goal from a scramble: a cross come in, rejection, Álvaro Cortés head the ball back into the small area, and Campos place a header close to the post.

The dream still dey alive for Barça Atlètic. Dem go need to win for Torrent and hope Reus or Alcoyano drop points. But with this kind spirit, anything fit happen.
