Following a sequence of three victories on the bounce, Castilla's run came to an end at Getafe B. The hosts made the most of their chances as two first-half goals left Real Madrid's reserves needing to produce a comeback and, though the Whites fought hard to turn the scoreboard on its head, it was not to be their day. Zinedine Zidane's men found themselves facing an uphill battle early on as the home team took the lead inside the first five minutes, an unfortunate moment in the Castilla defence allowing Ian González to make it 1-0. The visitors sought to respond, remaining faithful to their style and linking up well, but did not enjoy the rub of the green with the final ball.

Neither outfit was proving able to impose itself as the clear dominant force, and it was Getafe B who took advantage of this state of affairs. In an isolated attack ten minutes before the break, Wanderson's effort saw goalkeeper Carlos Abad beaten for a second time. Castilla then had a great opportunity to cut the deficit in the last minute of the first half, but Borja Mayoral did not manage to find the net when through on home custodian David Gil.



Chances few and far between in the second half

There was little change to the pattern of the game after half time, with the Whites employing patient build-up play in their continued efforts to get on the scoresheet, but finding themselves unable to breach the Getafe B goal. A hard-fought closing period to the reserve-team derby offered up few openings, and meant Castilla came away empty-handed after a streak of five matchdays unbeaten. In their next fixture in Segunda B Group II, Zidane's side will aim to get back to winning ways against Fuenlabrada at the Alfredo Di Stéfano.
