He Sports He closed his career in the First Federation in the best way, beating the Castellon (2-4) and proclaiming himself absolute champion of the third category. The blue and white team had to suffer at the beginning, but they stood up and ended up killing a local team on the counterattack that was unable to control Lucas Pérez, author of two goals and two assists to sign a streak that remains on pause until August of 21 games without losing.
- Inconsequential, but not much. Neither coach wanted to slow down for the last game of the season and The Champions Final ended up living up to its name due to the importance that both sides gave it. Idiakez and Schreuder barely made any changes compared to Wednesday’s lineup, with minimal tweaks to close the season with a good taste in their mouths.
- No prisoners. The pace of the match had little to do with that of Riazor. Castellón struck first with a goal from Douglas and overwhelmed Dépor in the first quarter of an hour, who survived as best they could. From there he managed to equalize the duel and pause before the prize. Davo took advantage of a mistake by Jozhua to assist Lucas, who tied the match with class. On the edge of rest, from nothing to everything. Eric Puerto denied Suero the 2-1 after a blue and white defensive mistake and Mella did not fail against Crettaz taking advantage of a counter in clear superiority led by Lucas.
- Lucas for everyone. The start of the second half had nothing to do with it. Dépor was warned and came out with force, that of a Lucas Pérez invented the third goal as soon as he started. He stole, faced the area, leaned on Villares for a quality wall and scored with a precise shot. The 1-3 score unleashed an infernal round trip in which Castellón closed the gap and had several to tiebut a serious mistake by Alberto was taken advantage of again by Lucas with 15 minutes left to give the fourth to Davo and close the tie.
