Both players, who are center-backs—Martínez from Atlético Madrileño and Domínguez from the Under-19 A team—had the challenging task of filling in as full-backs against Semenyo and Savinho.
Amid the intense match, Jorge Domínguez made his mark by scoring a goal that put the rojiblancos ahead 1-0. He capitalized on a loose ball from Hjulmand after a corner kick.
Domínguez is regarded as one of Atlético de Madrid’s standout prospects. Standing nearly two meters tall, he poses a significant threat both defensively and offensively.
In addition to his defensive skills, his ability to carry the ball effectively lets him navigate through opposing pressure and connect with midfield players.
