Castellón bench lifts leaders as Hernández’s changes prove decisive again | OneFootball

CD Castellón sit top after six matches, their bench repeatedly tilting games while Pablo Hernández keeps reminding it is still early days.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the pattern was clear across three fixtures. Against Albacete, Ousmane Camara made it 1-0 just as changes were being readied, then impact substitute Israel Suero came on to clinch it 2-0.

At Montilivi against Girona, Castellón trailed, so Hernández loaded up with attackers to chase a turnaround. After Sienra levelled, substitute Álvaro García buried a rebound for the winner, with Jakobsen central to the move.

Back at the SkyFi Castalia on Saturday, the script shifted. Castellón tore into Tenerife and led 3-0 by the 30th minute. A second half lull prompted tweaks in the double No 10 role, restoring fluency, and Pablo Santiago struck within a minute of coming on, with his first touch, to shut the door in a 5-0.

Pablo Santiago said they started well, extended the margin and maintained good feelings. He described anticipating Juanjo’s burst and a cut-back before catching the finish clean. He enjoyed a blistering first half and called it a serious display against a Tenerife side who had begun the league well, and he now has two goals in his second season at the SkyFi Castalia.
