<p>Castellón wrapped up a perfect afternoon at home against a rival having their worst start to the season. Pablo Hernández's side showed from the off they meant business: barely had the whistle gone when Iñigo Córdoba already had a sight of goal with a volley that crashed into the La Mancha defence after Pablo Santiago's centre to the far post. The lads from the banks of the Turia took the reins, conjuring up two corners in the first five minutes and leaving Albacete short on attacking ideas in a first half of complete local dominance. Come the second period, just when parity might have crept in, Ousmane Camara broke the deadlock in the 56th minute. Six minutes later, Israel Suero put the game to bed with the second goal, sealing a win that sent Castellón to the top of the table after matchday ten with no defeats under their belt all season. Albacete, meanwhile, suffered their first defeat away at Castalia without really having the tools to trouble hosts who played with the certainty of a side that knows exactly what it's doing. Another Sunday of Castellón glory in a fortress that's becoming harder and harder to crack.</p>
