match updates:

1' - kickoff, vamos!

⚽ 19' - goal for Arenas... Quick counter, Aguado can't stop the cross by the winger, who pulls it back to the penalty spot, where Cestero has lost track of Marcos Fernández and he puts it into the bottom corner calmly

🔄 36' - Lamini on for Valde, who is experiencing discomfort

37' - free kick after the Arenas keeper handled the ball outside of the box, and Pol Fortuny's free kick cross directly hits the post

⚽ 42' - huge error by Manuel Ángel who plays an awful pass near our box despite no pressure whatsoever... Their attacker advances and cuts it back to Hidalgo, who takes a very savable shot but Fran cannot get to it either - do these players know how badly they are choking the playoff spots right now?

⚽ 45' - GOLLLLL DEL CASTILLA - Aguado saves the ball from going out of bounds and puts in a great cross anyways that reaches David Jiménez - his shot/cross is saved by the keeper, but Rachad can tap the rebound into the net with his head from a short distance! Quick and important reaction before half time

⚽ 45'+4 - GOLLLLL DEL CASTILLA - Palacios makes an extraordinary through ball for Ciria, who has little space and time to finish but forces a difficult save from the keeper - the ball lands in front of Pol Fortuny, who takes a touch to round the keeper on the ground and taps it into the empty net! The perfect reaction by Castilla even before the half time whistle is blown!

HT - after being 0:2 down completely unnecessarily, the team woke up just in time to draw level before half time, showcasing a furious reaction and the willingness to fight for the playoff spots - need more of that energy in the 2nd half

46' - 2nd half underway

🔄 59' - Jacobo comes on for Rachad, and gets a yellow card within 10 seconds of coming on lol
