Leganés
Castellón
Outstanding performance
Castellón•AttackerCastellón made their territorial dominance count, racking up 20 shots and 56% possession while Leganés struggled to translate their own share of the ball into meaningful chances. Israel Suero was the difference-maker, scoring from a second corner in the 24th minute before turning creator to tee up Adam Jakobsen just two minutes into the second half, effectively ending the contest as a contest. Leganés pushed for a way back and won a stoppage-time penalty, but Alejandro Millán Iranzo denied them from the spot, and things got worse when Jérémy Mellot was sent off in the 82nd minute. The result piles more pressure on a Leganés side stuck outside the promotion picture, while Castellón's away win keeps their form firmly on the up as they chase the title race places.

Kick-off! The referee is Alejandro Ojaos.
Unbeaten league leaders Castellón travel to face a Leganés side that has been rock-solid at home, winning their last two at Butarque including a 3-2 thriller over Granada. It's a genuine test of credentials for both sides as they sit at opposite ends of the table momentum-wise.
