Castilla wins the Luis de Carlos Memorial

Real Madrid Castilla triumphed in the Luis de Carlos Memorial against Deportivo Fabril at the Cantarrana-Kiko Rey stadium. The victory was secured in the second half with a penalty goal by Á. Leiva, who himself earned the penalty in the 88th minute. This marks our reserve team's second win in their second preseason match.

The first half ended goalless, although the best chances were created by our reserve team. The first opportunity came in the 23rd minute with a long-range shot by Castrelo after an impressive solo effort, which narrowly missed the target. An even clearer chance came four minutes later when Roberto found himself one-on-one with Álex Márquez, but the Galician team's goalkeeper came out on top.

After the break, Castilla stepped up and took control of the game, but their opponents could have opened the scoring on a counterattack in the 53rd minute with a shot by Martín Ochoa, brilliantly saved by Illia Voloshyn with an impressive stretch. Our reserve team continued to attack, and in the 80th minute, a new chance came with a volley inside the area by Rachad, which went off target.  

Decisive Final Minutes
The final minutes were end-to-end, and Guille could have scored three minutes later following a great individual effort by Á. Leiva, but Álex Márquez made a spectacular save to send the ball out for a corner. In the 88th minute, the goal that decided this reserve team clash arrived. Á. Leiva's shot inside the area struck David's hand, and Á. Leiva himself converted the penalty to secure the Luis de Carlos Memorial.
