Sabadell will play the final of the playoff for promotion to Second after signing a heroic comeback lifting the 2-0 lead that Castilla had from the first leg. The goal of Priego in the 90′, the third of the locals and the second in their own account, brought delirium to the 11,000 souls that They packed the Nova Creu Alta. A comeback accompanied by controversy because two referee decisions harmed the white reserve team, which claimed a penalty to Joan Martínez with 0-0 and a foul push to Thiago Pitarch in the second goal.
Sabadell went all out for the comeback with the opening whistle. Were six frantic minutescatapulted by a full stadium and a very dedicated stand, in which they overwhelmed Castilla with a direct and energetic game. An arreón in which they did not get the goal award despite having two good chances, the first of which forced Fran to make two spectacular saves.
But the reserve team reacted quickly to slow down the game and tie it up. He let himself suffer, started to control the game and had a couple of chances with which he intimidated his rival. He was even able to get ahead on the scoreboard after a clear penalty from Kaiser to Joan Martínez that the referee, after reviewing it, decided not to whistle. The Sabadell defender clearly hit the Madrid player in his failed clearance, but the referee did not heed the Madrid player’s claim.
Nor would he do it minutes later to annul the 2-0 due to a possible Miguelete foul on Thiago Pitarch in the steal of the ball that would lead to the goal of Astals that brought madness to Nova Creu Alta. Because two minutes before, a double mistake Lamini in the transfer and Fran catching the ball with his hands caused the indirect free kick that Priego It became 1-0 to put Sabadell on the path to a comeback and take Castilla out of the tranquility with which it was ruling the match. A ruling and two controversial arbitration decisions They brought equality to the tie before the break.
Priego’s goal in the 90th minute and total madness
One minute after the restart, Fuoli prevented Castilla’s goal with a stop on a header Ciria in which he also had the help of the stick. It was not a declaration of intentions from the subsidiary because it remained an isolated arrival. Castilla found it difficult to generate chances and the match entered a scene of tense calm.
The match stalled with both teams one goal away from avoiding overtime. Another controversy altered it, with Sabadell demanding a red from Lamini for aggression that the referee also did not consider in the review. And with extra time already looming, a flash from Sabadell gave them classification in the 90th minute, with Priego dressing as a hero and signing his particular double to put the locals in the final of the playoff for promotion to Second.
