A Wet First Half
Despite the tough weather, Castilla started pushing up really early. In the 7th minute, Loren Zúñiga headed very close to opening the score, but the visiting goalkeeper reacted just on time. The team of Cacereño tried to answer, but Mestre was attentive and made an important stop in a one-on-one against Iván Fernández.
Everything was tricky due to heavy rain-passes slipped, shots skidded, and Arbeloa was clearly not pleased with some of the details. Still, the best chance of the half was Castilla’s when Palacios hit the post from a brilliant free-kick in added time, the effort deserved a goal, but luck wasn’t on our side just yet.
The first half ended 0-0, but Castilla did look like the only team really pushing for the breakthrough.

Cacereño tried to hold on, but Castilla continued to attack with confidence.
The breakthrough finally arrived in the 77th minute, and it was a moment to remember. Pol Fortuny burst down the left and delivered a perfect cross. Álvaro Ginés, on his debut and full of ambition, rose high and headed the ball into the net.
1–0 for Castilla and the Di Stéfano erupted.
