Castilla defeated in Cáceres

Real Madrid Castilla suffered a loss in their visit to Cacereño in the third-to-last matchday of the League. Our team found themselves trailing 2-0 in a first half that had to be halted for 24 minutes due to heavy hail. Rachad reduced the deficit in the 46th minute, but the hosts scored two more goals to secure the victory. Despite the defeat, the madridistas still depend on themselves to qualify for the promotion playoffs to the Second Division.

Cacereño started more aggressively and took the lead in the 10th minute of the first half with a goal from Ajenjo assisted by Iván Fernández. Following the goal, our team began to dominate possession and create dangerous chances in the opposing area. Before the referee stopped the match due to adverse weather conditions, Diego Aguado hit the crossbar with a free kick from the edge of the box. After nearly 25 minutes of stoppage and on a waterlogged and slow pitch, Castilla had chances, but it was Ajenjo again who extended the hosts' lead from the penalty spot just before halftime.

Castilla tried but had no luck
They came out with more energy in the early stages of the second half and reduced the deficit just 35 seconds in with a stunning goal by Rachad. The madridista forward displayed excellent control inside the box, cut past his defender, and with a superb finish beat the local goalkeeper with a cross-shot. Our team pushed forward, but a miscalculated pass by Cristian David in his area was seized upon by Ajenjo, who beat Fran González to make it 3-1 in the 62nd minute. Both teams made substitutions in the final stretch, and although Castilla kept trying, it was once again the Cacereño side who found the net with a goal from Guti in the 77th minute.
