Castilla went out onto the field at La Romareda knowing that victory would move them out of the relegation zone and they did not waste the opportunity. Burgui and Lucas were responsible for solidifying the Madrid team's climb up the table. The player from Extremadura scored one of the goals of the week with a beautiful strike from outside the area that was unstoppable for Leo Franco, with just 15 minutes on the clock. José Manuel Díaz's men had already worried the Aragonese crowd with a clear chance for Raúl de Tomás who missed a one-on-one with the home side's goalkeeper. In the moments after the score, the Madrid team worked hard for a second goal that would secure the victory and they came close to doing so. First with a powerful strike from Quini, and then following a great pass from Burgui to Lucas, which the Galician player sent into the stands when he was alone in front of the opposition keeper.

Despite the good vibes in attack, the Madrid team had to withstand some pressure from a Real Zaragoza who did not want to lose their momentum in the fight for promotion. It brought the best out of the Whites' goalkeepers. Before being substituted due to injury in the 24th minute, Pacheco had time to stop a good opportunity for Henríquez. Rubén Yáñe replaced him ably and before the break he made a great save when a powerful shot came in from Rico. In the second half, the keeper frustrated the La Romareda crowd again and made another save to stop a long shot from Cidoncha.



When it looked as if the equaliser would come at any moment, Lucas skilfully finished a counterattack that brought the Whites their fourth victory in five games. Just before the Galician player's goal, Álvaro Medrán took to the field to make his debut as a Castilla player. The Real Madrid C midfielder also almost scored his first goal with a direct free kick that Leo Franco cleared. José Manuel Díaz's men, who had to finish the match with ten players due to Willian José's sending off in the 84th minute, are already looking forward to their next match against Tenerife just above the relegation zone.
