Castilla’s dream burst: Castilla does not get promoted, although following the 1-1 draw in the first leg it was 3-3 in the second promotion final. The reason for this is the better qualification of CD Eldense, who will play in the Segunda División in 2023/24.

Eldense rises, Castilla remains in the third division
Despite an initial 2-0 lead. Despite Sergio Arribas’ starting XI comeback. Despite sensational saves from Luis López. And despite a second draw: Real Madrid Castilla didn’t make it, CD Eldense was promoted to the Segunda División.
Like the first leg, the second leg in the playoff final shouldn’t have a winner, and yet one team can celebrate in the end: the small club from Elda saved itself in the second division in a sometimes spectacular 3:3, while Castilla, on the other hand, has to go to the third stay league. After the 1-1 draw in the first leg in Madrid there was no penalty shoot-out, but the better qualification in the main season of the two-tier third division should decide. Zwat, like Castilla, Eldense also took 69 points, but that was “only” enough for Blancos to finish third in their group, while Eldense, a promoted team, finished second.
The home side went into the second leg with this knowledge, defended more than passionately and also had the twelfth man factor behind them. Because in the Estadio Nuevo Pepico Amat, laser pointers or balls thrown onto the field might be heard once more and once more. Despite everything, Castilla not only came into play well, but also took a two-goal lead. Only Rafa Marín (26th), then captain Carlos Dotor (34th) made the dreams of the first promotion since 2012 come alive. But instead of a 2-0 half-time lead, it was “only” 2-1 in the end because Manu Nieto made the connection shortly before the break whistle (45+2).
Between López’s saves: Arribas scores in overtime
In the second round, Carlos Hernández then forced the equalizer (68′), so that it was later to go into overtime. Between a few top chances for the hosts, the Merengues got a penalty – Arribas executed it to make it 3:2 (108th), but just six pointer turns later Juanto Ortuño made it 3:3 (114th). Substitute Carlos Aranda missed a few chances and the score remained 3-3 and Eldense returned to the Segunda División for the first time in 60 years. And that without a single home defeat! The Castilla, on the other hand, have to be content with another year in the Primera División RFEF despite a sometimes furious season – with 58 goals none of the 40 third division clubs had more, no team scored more points away from home. And is probably facing a major upheaval, not only might top performers like Arribas go, the future of coach Raúl González Blanco is far from clear. And yet: The fact that such a young team is only a goal short of promotion is regrettable on the one hand, but also remarkable – Raúl has done a great job in his fourth season as Castilla coach.
