Urritxe continues to be a bastion for an unbeatable Amorebieta in the second round. The blues took advantage of two mistakes by goalkeeper Alfonso Pastor yesterday to overcome a Castellón inferior at the beginning but who had a chance to tie in the last minutes. With this victory, Haritz Mujika’s men are second in the standings with 44 points, the same as Castellón and seven behind the leader, Eldense.
Julen Jon opened the account in the 13th minute, after an error by the goalkeeper Alfonso when it came to keeping a pass from Rayco into the area. Julen Guerrero’s son was in the right place to finish off the net without a doubt with his left foot. The midfielder thus signed his third goal in the last three games wearing the blue shirt. Another mistake by Alfonso in the clearance served for Dorrio to hit high and placed to score the second goal of the game in the 28th minute. The visitors’ response came with a hard shot just off the post from Fabricio in the 32nd minute.
With greater possession of the ball, very effective in defense, closing lines and with anticipation, Amorebieta was much better in the first half than their opponents, although they scored on their only two shots on goal. The physical display of the Biscayans and their high pressure drowned out a harmless Castellón until the break.

Referee: José Alberto Pardeiro (C. Cantabria). He showed the yellow card to the locals Sibo and Iturraspe and to the visitors Antón and Calavera.
But the panorama changed in the second part. Two shots by Fabricio and Raúl Sánchez warned that the Levantine team had not given up. Julen Jon, with a long shot that was born as a pass, forced Alfonso to stretch as much as possible to avoid the third local goal. Shortly after, Jonmi, well positioned, saved Antón’s shot to the corner, and Fabricio headed near the post in a corner. Raúl Sánchez scored the visitor’s goal with a low and crossed shot. The same protagonist was able to score in the last seconds, but Jonmi’s departure prevented the tie.
