Castilla comes from behind to secure their second consecutive home win

Real Madrid Castilla secured their second consecutive home victory after coming from behind against Antequera in the eighth matchday of Group 2 of the Primera Federación, held at Alfredo Di Stéfano. The visitors took the lead with an own goal by Cestero (39’), but Carvajal equalized before halftime (45’). In the second half, Leiva made it 2-1 with a brilliant individual play (53’), and after Pérez was sent off in the 57th minute, Alexis Ciria capitalized on the numerical advantage to score the 3-1 (67’). In added time, Destiny pulled one back to set the final score at 3-2 (90+1’).

Antequera started by pressing high, but Castilla managed to hold off their initiative and gradually gained possession. In the 4th minute, Leiva had a chance to make it 1-0 after a good combination between Carvajal and Yáñez, but his shot missed the target. Later, Yáñez came close to connecting with a cross from Diego Aguado, but the defense intercepted it. The visitors responded, and after a great save by Mestre on a shot by Parra (36’), they took the lead with an own goal by Cestero, who mishit a clearance from a cross (39’). Castilla did not give up and equalized before halftime. Leiva delivered a cross into the box, Diego Aguado and Cestero extended the ball, and Carvajal finished with a well-placed shot to make it 1-1 (45’).

Leiva's Stunning Goal
The Andalusians tried to replicate their early-game intensity after the restart to surprise Castilla. However, Madrid held firm, and in the 53rd minute, Leiva made it 2-1 with an excellent solo effort. He received the ball on the flank, cut into the box, found a gap between the defenders, and fired a precise low shot past the opposing goalkeeper.

Alexis Ciria Sealed the Comeback
Four minutes later, Pérez was sent off for a reckless tackle on Carvajal. The madridistas took advantage of the numerical superiority to create more danger, and in the 67th minute, Alexis Ciria drove into the box from the left flank and, after a series of deflections in the opposing defense, unleashed a powerful left-footed shot to make it 3-1. Our team maintained control of the game and had several opportunities to score a fourth goal. However, Antequera reduced the deficit with a goal by Destiny in added time (90+1’). The visitors pressed for an equalizer in the final moments, but Castilla defended their lead and secured their third win of the campaign.
