Reus, managed by Marc Carrasco, decisively defeated Barça Atlètic 4-1 at the Estadi on January 12, showcasing their promotion aspirations with a perfectly executed game.

The red-and-blacks started the match highly focused and prepared for the occasion. Although Barça Atlètic tried to control possession, the high pressure from the home side quickly paid off. In the 4th minute, Miquel Ustrell stole the ball and provided a decisive pass to Kenneth Soler, who only had to tap it in to make it 1-0.
Barça sought a reaction, but Reus kept them at bay thanks to key interventions by Lluís Recasens and Alarcón, preventing the equalizer. After the break, Reus maintained their superior momentum, with Miquel Ustrell again playing a starring role.
After missing an earlier chance, Miquel Ustrell redeemed himself by powerfully heading in a corner kick delivered by Xavi Jaime to make it 2-0. Immediately, Barça reacted and scored the 2-1 in a controversial play where the linesman raised and lowered the flag, distracting the Reus defense.

Reus withstood the visiting danger in the best possible way, with goalkeeper Pacheco appearing at crucial moments to maintain the local advantage.

The match was decided by a penalty converted by Ricardo Vaz, which put the score at 3-1. Finally, Pol Fernández rounded off the rout with the definitive 4-1, securing an euphoric victory for Marc Carrasco's side, a triumph that confirms their status as promotion contenders.
