Second division B play-off finals, second leg

Real Madrid B also made it up after eight years despite losing their second leg game 0-1 to Conquense. A second division B record 57,326 crowd turned up to watch the "Pavones" defend their two goal lead from the first leg, although they struggled in the end and the visitors had a goal disallowed late on. Castellón's last appearance in the second division was even longer ago, eleven years to be precise, but they too were promoted after an early Manu Busto goal gave them a narrow 1-0 win over Zamora and an aggregate victory on the away goal rule. There was a surprise though in the fourth game of the weekend, Lorca overcoming a 1-2 result from the first leg to beat Real Unión 1-3 in Irún and return to the second division for only the second season in their history. Elsewhere Talavera saved themselves with a 1-1 draw at Mirandés, who are relegated to the regional third division on the away goals rule. (26.06.05)

Hércules returned to the second division after a six year absence after drawing 1-1 against Alcalá. The Alicante based side were defending a 1-3 lead from the first leg, and went further in front when Nano scored shortly after the break. Izquierdo equalised later on for the visitors, but too late to influence the result. The other three finals will take place tomorrow. (25.06.05)
