Barcelona B beat Badajoz to reach playoff final

Barcelona B secured their place in Sunday’s promotion playoff final after beating Badajoz on penalties on Thursday in Malaga.

Garcia Pimienta’s side had to come from behind to secure a 1-1 draw and were then flawless in the penalty shootout, captain Monchu netting the winning kick to seal victory.

Barca B had the better of the first half and twice went close with strong efforts on goal.

Konrad de la Fuente saw a fine shot tipped over the crossbar on 19 minutes, while Monchu had a low shot palmed around the post two minutes later.
