Before the half-hour mark, Deportivo doubled the lead. A swift counter-attack ended with striker Álex Rodríguez slotting home. The third goal came just before half-time: a defensive mix-up allowed Rodríguez to tap in his second.

Standout Performers

Álex Rodríguez (Deportivo) – The centre-forward was unplayable, scoring a brace and causing constant problems for the Compostela defence. His link-up play was also excellent.

Carlos López (Deportivo) – His free kick set the tone, and he was a constant threat from wide areas.

Friendly Significance

For Deportivo, who are preparing for the upcoming Primera División RFEF season (third tier), this match was a confidence booster and a chance to gel new signings. Compostela, aiming for promotion from Segunda División B, will take lessons from the heavy defeat but will be concerned by the lack of defensive organisation. The Galician rivalry added spice, but Depor were clearly the superior side.
