Astorga faces setback following controversial refereeing decision

Astorga faced a difficult match at La Eragudina against Amorebieta, marked by a controversial officiating decision in the 22nd minute. During a play where the visiting goalkeeper collided with a defender, an Astorga player struck the ball, which was then handled by an Amorebieta field player. Rather than awarding a penalty and a potential red card, the referee stopped play to attend to the goalkeeper, effectively nullifying the scoring opportunity.

Amorebieta eventually scored following a defensive error where a clearance was not properly cleared. Despite some offensive attempts from Astorga, including near-misses by Hoyos, the team struggled to maintain pressure throughout the match.
