Castellón player ratings at Leganés: Isra Suero the standout in 0-2 triumph | OneFootball

CD Castellón stayed in charge of the table with a 0-2 win at Leganés, moving to 19 points from 21 after Eibar’s surge. The visitors’ superiority at Ontime Butarque felt greater than the scoreline suggested.

Pablo Hernández made one change, Álvaro Martín replaced the absent Maty Orozco. Álvaro Morata missed an early chance on four minutes, then Castellón took control and, on 24 minutes, Luca Zidane’s loose pass gifted Isra Suero a sublime lob. Two minutes after the restart Suero released Jakobsen to finish for 0-2, having already seen Jakobsen, Barri and Camara go close before the break.

Leganés pushed to respond but space was scarce against a disciplined back line. The main scare came on 83 minutes when Jérémy Mellot conceded a penalty on Unax del Cura and was sent off, only for Romain Matthys to save.

El Periódico Mediterráneo notes these are their player ratings, with Suero the standout on nine after scoring and creating the second. Matthys earned eight, his penalty stop capping another assured display.

Alberto took seven for shackling Álvaro Morata, while Barri, Jakobsen and Camara received eights. Juanjo Nieto and Iñigo Córdoba were given sevens, Sienra and Mellot sixes, the latter marred by the late incident.

From the bench, Lucas Alcázar, Pablo Santiago and Fran Castillo were all rated six, while Gala was not graded. Castellón have conceded only two goals in seven matches.
