Outstanding performance
Racing Santander•AttackerRacing Santander delivered a dominant first-half display to secure a comprehensive victory at Castellón, with Giorgi Guliashvili starring in a devastating 23-minute spell. The Georgian forward opened the scoring on 19 minutes before grabbing his second just before halftime, sandwiching Álvaro Mantilla's 34th-minute strike that effectively killed the contest. Castellón's afternoon went from bad to worse when Jérémy Mellot was dismissed for a last-man foul in stoppage time, though Israel Suero's 79th-minute consolation provided some late respite. This result strengthens Racing's position in the promotion race while leaving Castellón dangerously close to the relegation zone.
