Castilla draws against Mirandés

Real Madrid Castilla drew in their fourth preseason friendly, remaining unbeaten so far. López de Lerma's team, who were superior and conceded very few chances to the opponent, finished 0-0 against Mirandés at the Ciudad Deportiva Numancia Francisco Rubio Garcés in Soria.

In the first half, Castilla took the initiative and in the 20th minute appealed for a penalty on Pol that the referee did not award. Leiva forced the opposing goalkeeper into action twice, with opportunities for the madridistas to take the lead (22’ and 36’). Five minutes before halftime, the midfielder tried again but was once more denied by Edgar, and the match went into the break at 0-0.

Mirandés stepped up their game, and the second half was more evenly matched. Despite this, the madridistas continued to create dangerous chances. Joan Martínez nearly surprised the goalkeeper two minutes in with a long-range shot that resulted in a corner, and shortly after, Lamini attempted a header that just grazed the top corner (53’). Our reserve team kept pressing, and in the 67th minute, the referee again did not call a foul on Pol in the area. After making substitutions, the Mirandés coach's team created opportunities, but Javi Navarro prevented them from taking the win. Castilla will play their next preparation match on Wednesday against Ponferradina at El Toralín (8:00 pm CEST).
