On April 14, 2026, Real Madrid Castilla were held to a 1–1 draw by Ourense CF at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium. The visitors struck early through Sergio Benito before Castilla pushed throughout the second half, eventually equalizing via Liberto in the 76th minute to salvage a point.
The visitors made a sharp start and stunned the home side inside the opening stages. In the 6th minute, Sergio Benito finished clinically with a right-footed effort after being set up by Adrián Guerrero, giving Ourense a 1–0 lead. Castilla struggled to find rhythm in the immediate aftermath, with Ourense compact and disciplined defensively. The hosts did carve out moments, most notably through attacking pressure and attempts from distance, but lacked the final touch needed to break through before the interval.
After the restart, Castilla raised the tempo. Their possession increased, and they began pinning Ourense deeper into their own half. The home side circulated the ball with more intent, seeking openings as the visitors looked to protect their tight advantage. Several promising moves hinted at an equalizer, with crosses into the box and shots from the edge testing the defensive structure, but the breakthrough remained elusive as the clock ticked into the final quarter.
Persistence finally paid off in the 76th minute. Liberto Navascués found space and converted to level the match at 1–1, sparking relief among the home crowd. The goal shifted momentum fully in Castilla’s favour, and they pushed for a late winner. However, Ourense held firm under pressure, resisting the closing surge to secure a valuable draw on the road.
A shaky start gave way to a resilient response as Castilla secured a deserved share of the points, while Ourense took satisfaction from their organization and early efficiency to earn a hard-fought result away from home.
