Atletic Terrassa claimed a nervous 3-2 win over Bromac Kelburne to advance to the KO16 with the Scottish side missing out on the draw they needed to eliminate last year’s FINAL4 side.

Jordi Carrera gave Atletic a tenth minute lead from the penalty spot when a corner shot hit a defender’s body on the line. Kelburne equalised within 60 seconds, however, when Jonas Nommensen’s drag-flick found the goal for 1-1.

The Spanish side pushed forward for much of the second quarter but to no avail as the Scottish champions defended their 23m area well, limiting clear-cut chances.

The third quarter was a different matter with Atletic netting twice in quick succession after the break. Jan Malgosa got them back in front when Albert Beltran burst down the left flank and while the first phase was blocked, the Atletic man picked up the pieces and swept in.

Oriol Bach extended the lead from the second rebounds of a corner for 3-1. But any notions that they would cruise to victory were put to bed when Josh Cairns converted a penalty stroke. It led to a mad-cap, end-to-end game with Kelburne winning a number of corners and creating a number of chances.

Atletic also had their chances to make the closing stages calmer but Rory Kerr held them out, too.
