Real Madrid Castilla stumbled by Nico Paz, who was on the brink of promotion to the Second Division of Spain. Deportivo Eldense had an epic night at the Nuevo Pepico Amat in Alicante to return to the category after 59 years. The match ended in a 3-3 draw in regulation time, taking the game to a frenetic extra time. Raúl González’s team, which found itself with a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Rafa Marín and Carlos Dotor, failed to maintain it. And Eldense came back with goals from Manu Nieto and Carlos Hernández. Finally, the Alicante team was promoted due to its better classification in the regular League.

Real Madrid Castilla needed a win to be promoted, after the 1-1 draw at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium. Given this, Raúl opted for an offensive approach with a 3-5-2 formation. During the first half, the Madrid reserve team dominated the game, while Eldense seemed nervous and harmless. Marín, at 25′, and Dotor, at 33′, gave the White House a comfortable advantage to be excited about the title.

Eldense showed a great reaction just before the break, when Manu Nieto scored a header to close the gap. In the second half, the team from Alicante came out more aggressive and managed to equalize in the 68th minute, thanks to a defensive mismatch by Castilla that Carlos knew how to take advantage of very well. The game remained even and the 2-2 lead to play 30 more minutes.

In extra time, Castilla had opportunities to score, making their hierarchy prevail. At 108′, from 12 steps, Sergio Arribas made it 3-2 for Castilla. But the illusion did not last long, since Eldense tied again thanks to a goal from Juanto Ortuño. PDue to the sporting advantage, Nico Paz and his team did not reach a draw, so, when it did not reach 4-3, the desire for promotion vanished.

this defeat it was especially bitter for Real Madrid Castilla, since they were close to achieving promotion to the Second Division. On the way, he had left none other than Rafa Márquez’s Barsa B. The Merengue subsidiary has been out of professional football for ten years and has suffered several setbacks in the promotion playoffs in recent years. TO Despite having a 0-2 and 2-3 lead in the second leg, they failed to close out the match and secure promotion. A shame… Could it have been the last season of the Argentine at Castilla? Will Ancelotti take him into account for Madrid’s Primera?

The disappointment of Real Madrid. It was almost…
