ANDhe Villarreal B came from behind against UD Logroñés (3-1) from a set piece and left the La Rioja side with no chance of regaining the category they lost last season and that the ‘yellow submarine’ subsidiary will look for next Saturday.
The team from Castellón took control of the match in A Malata and was able to ratify it with a goal from Arana after seven minutes, but Jon Ander Serantes responded with a great intervention. The goalkeeper’s saves sustained the La Rioja team, who punished the subsidiary after 43 minutes with a center from Pinillos that Dubasin converted first.
