Áron Yaakobishvili keeps Castellón in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The wait goes on for Castellón
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Jérémy Mellot in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Castellón this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Awer Mabil’s goal not enough for Castellón
Awer Mabil scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Racing Santander, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Álvaro García runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Castellón sign DJ Bernard, one for the future
DJ Bernard is 19, and Castellón have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Pablo Santiago is carrying Castellón
4 goals and a season average of 7.27. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Pablo Santiago leaves them behind him
Shots: 8. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.
In brief
- Market The Diego Barri talk will not go away
- Player ratings Off the bench and decisive: Awer Mabil
