Real Madrid Castilla was eliminated in the promotion playoff to Segunda División. Our team lost against Sabadell at the Nova Creu Alta stadium and could not capitalize on the 2-0 advantage achieved in the first leg at the Di Stéfano. The Catalan team took the lead in the 31st minute and leveled the aggregate score two minutes later with a goal that should not have been awarded due to a prior foul on Thiago, which the referee did not call after reviewing the VAR. In the 90th minute, the hosts scored the definitive 3-0 to secure their place in the final.

The match began with Sabadell taking the initiative in attack, and Fran González prevented the first goal in the 6th minute with an excellent double save. As the minutes passed, our team grew into the match and began to have more presence in the opponent's half. After a corner kick, Julián López de Lerma requested a VAR review for a kick by Kaiser on Joan Martínez inside the box, but referee Rubén Ruipérez decided not to award a penalty.

Sabadell levels the aggregate score
Past the half-hour mark, the home team managed to level the aggregate score in just two minutes thanks to goals from Priego (31') and Astals (33'). In the play leading to the second goal, the Madridista coach called for a review of a potential foul on Thiago, but the referee did not award it, and the goal stood. Sabadell maintained their offensive pressure, and Fran González appeared again just before halftime to prevent a third goal in a one-on-one situation with Escudero.

After the break, our team came close to narrowing the gap with a header by Alexis Ciria inside the box that hit the post following a great save by Fuoli. Castilla hovered around the opponent's area, although without creating clear scoring chances, and the home team sealed the aggregate in the 90th minute with a goal by Priego. López de Lerma's side fought until the end, and although Sabadell finished the match with one player less, they could not find the goal that would have allowed them to force extra time.
