Monumental error by Luca Zidane. Excluded due to suspension during the national team's two matches in the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, Luca Zidane has continued to stay ready for his team Leganes in the Spanish Liga 2.

In a league match held on Monday, September 28, he made a serious rookie mistake that will not help him regain his starting position with the Greens, currently held by Melvin Mastil during his absence.

Zinedine Zidane's son has started six times this season with Leganes, which he joined this summer from Granada. Until now, things had been going relatively well. But on Monday, against Castellon, the goalkeeper experienced a true nightmare. Not only did his team lose 0-2 at home, but Zidane also delivered a performance below expectations.

Luca Zidane loses control and gifts a goal to the opponent

Known for his outings outside his area and his footwork, Luca completely mishandled his control outside the box in the 24th minute. The opposing striker Suero intercepted the ball and sent it into the empty net from 25 meters. Castellon then scored a second goal through Jakobsen in the 47th minute. Even with one more player, Leganes could not come back into the match.

The big loser of this match is Luca Zidane, who let crucial points slip away in view of his return to the national team, where competition for the goalkeeper position remains intense. Melvin Mastil conceded three goals, for which he is not responsible, in the two matches against Zambia (3-1) and Burundi (2-2).
