Early on, Jorge García signaled their intent with a volley that struck the home defense after a corner kick taken by Imanol Torre.
Amorebieta took the lead from a penalty by Etxaniz, following a foul by Argente, making it 1-0. However, the equalizer came swiftly as Jorge García found the net after a pass from Asier Benito.
At the start of the second half, Fran Rodríguez received a second yellow card and was sent off, leaving Sestao River with ten players. Despite being a man down, the visiting team did not suffer excessively. Amorebieta, with a numerical advantage, besieged Iru's goal and had two clear chances to score, but failed to convert them.
The match became frantic in the final minutes. Sarriegi was also sent off with a direct red card, leaving Sestao River with nine players. Despite the extended play, Amorebieta could not capitalize on their double numerical advantage. Ultimately, both teams secured a point, but the draw may not be enough for either in their quest for the Cup, as Ebro maintains a two-point lead and will play their final match at home.
