Real Madrid Castilla secured an important victory against Unionistas de Salamanca at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium. Our reserve team earned three points, bringing their total to 56, thanks to a goal from Jacobo in the 80th minute. Julián López de Lerma's side is now fourth, with a five-point cushion in the playoff zone, with three matches remaining in the competition.

The match began with an early chance for the visitors. In the second minute, Pere found himself one-on-one with Sergio Mestre, who made a brilliant save to deny the goal. It was the only notable opportunity until added time in the first half when Castilla almost opened the scoring with a shot from Pol Fortuny inside the box that hit the side netting.

Jacobo decided it
The second half was much more entertaining, with both teams pushing for a goal that seemed elusive but increasingly imminent. Finally, in the 80th minute, Fortea crossed to the far post, Alexis Ciria headed it back, and Jacobo slotted the ball into the net after a good control in the six-yard box.

The visitors reacted, and Artola had a chance to equalize five minutes later, but a fantastic Sergio Mestre came to the rescue once again. From that point until the final whistle, the Real Madrid Castilla remained solid and allowed very few opportunities, securing three vital points that strengthen their position in the promotion playoff spots.
