Castellón player ratings from Racing clash at Castalia, Mellot sent off late | OneFootball

Castellón’s player ratings from the Castalia meeting with Racing captured a night that went from 0-3 down to a home response led by Suero.

El Periódico Mediterráneo notes that goalkeeper Matthys’s only clear error came on the second goal, before he denied Facu at point-blank range. Mellot ranged up and down but broke the line for the 0-3. Brignani struggled, losing risky balls and later being pushed up front, while Alberto steadied the back line and stepped out bravely.

Lucas Alcázar offered width going forward yet suffered against pace, his booking brings a suspension through accumulation. Diego Barri was withdrawn at half-time as plans changed. Gerenabarrena covered ground and grew as the lone pivot, earning an ovation.

Cipenga was the most dangerous outlet, fashioning the best chances. Raúl Sánchez flickered in the box and might have scored. Cala began brightly then faded.

Back in the starting line-up for the suspended Camara, Jakobsen missed a clear chance. From the bench, Suero was lively, sent in crosses and kept shooting until he found the net, with Mabil supplying the assist, while Álvaro fought hard but squandered his opening and Salva Ruiz defended cleanly. Mellot was then sent off in the final minute.
