The team led by Imanol de la Sota could not secure all three points against bottom-placed Arenteiro, a result that has seen them drop out of the play-off spots. The Ezkerraldea team is now just one point behind Real Madrid Castilla, Zamora, and Pontevedra, with Unionistas and Ponferradina trailing by a single point. Ponferradina will be the gualdinegros' next opponent on Sunday at 16:00 at El Toralín.

Early in the match, Arenteiro had the first clear chance with a cross-shot from Diego Moreno. However, Barakaldo took the lead in the 18th minute, with a goal from Sabin Merino following a play down the left by Eric Pérez. The joy was short-lived, as Kandoussi equalized in the 27th minute, capitalizing on a shot from Ferreiro that Ispizua failed to block.

In the second half, Barakaldo relentlessly sought a second goal but was unsuccessful. Ekaitz volleyed over the bar, and Mandiang's header was ruled offside. Pedernales created several dangerous opportunities, but his shots lacked precision. Towards the end of the match, Arenteiro was reduced to ten men after Lasure received a second yellow card, but Barakaldo did not have enough time to exploit their numerical advantage.
