Ochieng wasted no time announcing his presence, striking just 62 seconds into the match after capitalising on a costly defensive lapse by Fabrizio Brignani. The defender's loose ball gifted the forward the opener while goalkeeper Romain Matthys reacted too slowly to prevent the early goal. The tempo remained relentless as Castellón continued to press forward, with Aitor Fraga pulling off saves from Cala’s free kick and Alberto Jiménez. Despite Castellón firing nearly 20 attempts at goal before the half-hour mark, Real Sociedad B remained dangerous on the break. Ochieng continued to stretch the defence and struck the post once more before finally grabbing his second of the evening in the 68th minute.
