Alcoyano 1-2 Barca B: Konrad edges youth side closer to play-offs
The US forward hit a brace to earn the team victory without Collado
Konrad de la Fuente scored twice to edge Barcelona B closer to the promotion playoffs in Spain's third division.
The United States international opened the scoring against Alcoyano in the 31st minute and then sealed the three points in the 81st minute, just 10 minutes after the home side had levelled.
Garcia Pimienta's side remain second in their mini-group and know that two draw from their final two games will see them advance to the playoffs, where they will fight for a place in the second tier of Spanish football.
Next up are leaders Ibiza at the Johan Cruyff stadium next Sunday, followed by a trip to Villarreal the following week.
Sunday's win was all the more impressive given captain Alex Collado missed the game with an injury.
However, in Collado's absence, Konrad stepped up with the goods, while Nico Gonzalez impressed once again in midfield.
