Racing Villalbes 0–0 Compostela: Stalemate Leaves Promotion Tie Wide Open
The first leg of the SPA TRFEF PO promotion playoff between Racing Villalbes and Compostela ended in a goalless draw on 17 May 2026. The match, played at Racing Villalbes’ home ground with a 00:30 kick‑off, saw few clear chances as both defences held firm.
Racing Villalbes entered the match hoping to use home advantage to build a lead, but Compostela’s organised back line proved difficult to break down.

The best chance of the first half fell to Racing Villalbes’ striker, whose shot from inside the box was tipped over the bar by the Compostela goalkeeper.
