Defeat at the Di Stéfano

Real Madrid Castilla lost to Alcorcón in the fifth matchday of Group 2 in the Primera Federación, held at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium. The match started with high intensity, and Pol Fortuny put the reserve team ahead from the penalty spot (12’). Alcorcón turned the game around with goals from Mayorga (39’) and Aparicio (46’+). The team sought an equalizer in the second half, but the scoreline remained unchanged.

Alcorcón attempted to surprise early on with high pressing to force mistakes in the buildup, and in the 3rd minute, Naasei blocked Martínez's shot inside the area. Castilla responded, and in the 7th minute, the referee awarded a penalty for a foul on Yáñez by Bañuz after a great team move involving Thiago. The visiting team requested a review, but the referee upheld his decision, and Pol Fortuny converted to make it 1-0 (12’).

Six minutes later, Carvajal had a chance to make it 2-0 but was unable to control Thiago's pass effectively. However, the game’s momentum shifted as the minutes passed. Alcorcón increased their intensity, forcing our team to defend deeper. Mestre made two excellent saves against Aparicio but couldn’t prevent the visitors’ equalizer, which came from a header by Mayorga following a corner (39’). The Alcorcón side continued to push and found the 1-2 in added time with a goal from Aparicio (46’+).

Castilla fought until the end
The match slowed down after halftime. The madridistas controlled possession but faced a solid defensive block. Á. Leiva scored a spectacular goal in the 60th minute, but it was ruled out for offside. Castilla nearly equalized in the 75th minute when Joan Martínez backheeled a shot just wide.
