Defeat in Tenerife against the league leaders

Real Madrid Castilla lost on their visit to the league leaders. Julián López de Lerma's side had chances to score and ended the match with 10 men after Joan Martínez was sent off in the final minutes of the second half, but they were unable to complete the comeback against Tenerife at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López.

The match got off to a difficult start for the Madridistas, who conceded the first goal after three minutes, when De Miguel finished off a rebound after a previous shot hit the post. After the first quarter of an hour, Manuel Ángel responded with a shot from the edge of the area that was saved by the opposition goalkeeper. Tenerife doubled their lead in the 19th minute when Alassan took advantage of another rebound, this time after a good save by Fran González, to make it 2-0. Four minutes later, the same thing happened again, but this time the goal was scored by Enric Gallego.

Castilla never gave up and, before half-time, Loren Zúñiga made it 3-1 by connecting first time in the area after a great pass from Thiago (42'). In added time, Palacios had the chance to score the second from the penalty spot after a foul on the scorer that the referee had to review on the Football Video Support (FVS), but Dani saved his shot from 11 metres.

The team looks for a comeback
Castilla came out in the second half with the firm intention of turning the score around and showed it from the start. As soon as the match resumed, Palacios redeemed himself by scoring the 3-2 with a cross-shot from the side of the area after a great team move. Both teams continued to create chances, but the goal was slow in coming. In the 82nd minute, our reserve team was reduced to 10 men after Joan Martínez was sent off. Then, in added time, Tenerife sealed the match with a goal from Gastón from the penalty spot after a foul in the area by D. Jiménez.
