Castellón and Almería draw 1‑1 in LaLiga 2 playoff semifinal

The first leg of the LaLiga 2 promotion playoff semifinal between CD Castellón and UD Almería ended in a 1‑1 draw at Castalia on 6 June 2026. Fabrizio Brignani gave Castellón the early lead with a tap‑in before halftime, while Sergio Arribas equalised for Almería in the 66th minute after a cross from Nico Melamed.

The result leaves the tie level for the second leg scheduled for 9 June in Almería, where the Andalusian side will need a win to advance, benefiting from a higher regular‑season finish that would see them progress if the aggregate remains tied. Both clubs remain in contention for promotion to Spain’s top division.

In Turkey, the match has no official broadcaster, so fans must rely on live‑score services or foreign streams to follow the action.
