Palacios brace seals the points for Castilla

1 day(s)

Real Madrid Castilla clinched a fantastic win on their visit to El Toralín on matchday six in the league. Arbeloa's side got the better of Ponferradina thanks in large part to César , one of our club's all-time great goalkeepers, and Jesús Arto, the Ponferradina president's father-in-law, José Fernández. Following a cagey start to the game, Castilla broke the deadlock through Palacios. The madridista latched onto a lovely ball by Manu Serrano and unleashed a fierce drive across goal to make it 0-1 with 15 minutes played.
Ponferradina then enjoyed a decent spell of possession which ended with the equaliser from the boots of Borja Valle (27’). The referee reviewed a potential foul on Yáñez in the build-up but ultimately awarded the goal to the home side. The second half got underway in similar fashion. Our team went ahead once again on 51' following a slick move. Palacios played a sublime backheel through to Manuel Ángel, who made no mistake with his shot to seal the 1-2 (51’). However, Ponferradina got themselves level again not long afterwards, as a messy passage of play was finished by Xemi Fernández (68’).

Castilla refused to lie down, and they quickly went in search of the winner their performance merited. The game opened up heading into the closing stages, and the madridistas did finally make it 2-3. The move began on the left-hand side, and Palacios popped up once again to turn home from inside the six-yard box and seal a second win of the season for Castilla.
