Real Madrid Castilla secured a spot in the semifinals of the Premier League International Cup by defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford. After leveling the initial 2-0 deficit with goals from Castrelo and Bruno, Barroso and Mesonero completed the madridista comeback during extra time. The opponent for the next round will be determined through a draw, which will include López de Lerma's team, Real Sociedad B, Borussia Dortmund, and the winner of the match between Dinamo Zagreb and Valencia Mestalla.

The match started off challenging for our team. In the 9th minute, Moorhouse put United ahead with a shot from outside the box, and six minutes later, Lacey extended the lead from the penalty spot. From that point, Madrid sought a response, and the reward came in added time. A cross from David Jiménez was headed on by Bruno, and the ball fell to Castrelo, who finished with his left foot inside the box to beat Murdock and narrow the gap.

The equalizer came
Castilla maintained their offensive momentum after the break, though the equalizer didn't come until the 66th minute. Another cross from David Jiménez found Bruno at the edge of the box, and his right-footed shot ended up in the net after deflecting off a defender. López de Lerma's side continued to impose their game until the match went into extra time.

Barroso and Mesonero secure the win
In extra time, our reserve team came out determined to dominate. After a goal by Bruno was disallowed for offside, Barroso capitalized on a rebound inside the box to make it 2-3 and move the team closer to qualification (108’). Finally, Mesonero sealed the match in the 118th minute with a well-placed left-footed shot that confirmed Castilla's passage to the semifinals.
