Draw in Pontevedra

Real Madrid Castilla secured a point during their visit to Pontevedra. Julián López de Lerma's team drew in a challenging outing at the Municipal de Pasarón in matchday 23 of the championship. The first half saw chances for both teams. Our reserve team came close to scoring in the 12th minute with a shot from Yáñez, which the opposing goalkeeper managed to save. The hosts responded with two consecutive shots hitting the post.

As minutes passed, the match remained evenly balanced. Valdepeñas tried for Castilla, but Marqueta deflected his shot. Gradually, the pace of the game slowed, and the opportunities in front of the goal decreased, maintaining the goalless draw at halftime.

Fran González, crucial
After halftime, Pontevedra nearly scored with a strike from Yelko that Fran González cleared with an excellent save. Our goalkeeper once again prevented a goal in the 62nd minute during a one-on-one with Diego Gómez. In the 75th minute, a direct free kick from Yelko grazed the crossbar. Rosende gave the hosts the lead in the 90th minute, but the referee disallowed the goal due to a prior offside after reviewing it on the VAR, and the match ended in a draw. Our reserve team will host Bilbao Athletic at Di Stéfano next Friday (9:15 pm CEST).
