Cacereño, in dire need of points, scored a goal half a minute into the match, which set the stage for a tight defensive strategy. The red-and-white team's offensive efforts failed to penetrate the web of a team that hadn't won since mid-February.
Just 35 seconds into the game, Pao Palacín capitalized on a through ball from Javi Ajenjo, opening the scoring with a low shot precisely placed by the post. Bilbao Athletic took possession, but struggled to create significant danger. Ibai Sanz shot high, and Berlanga anticipated Ibai Sanz as he entered the box.
The home goalkeeper thwarted an attempt by Ibai, and from a distance, Korkut had a chance to score, but Iván Martínez cleared the ball from under the posts. In the second half, Bilbao Athletic pushed for an equalizer. Ibai Sanz sent the ball very close to the post. The dominance was red-and-white, but no real threat was generated. It was a monologue by the Bilbao team, culminating in a header by Beñat García hitting the crossbar in the 99th minute.
The referee for the match was Guillermo Cueto Amigo, from the Castilla y León Committee. He booked home player Monerris and away player Johaneko. The Príncipe Felipe Stadium saw an attendance of 4,045 spectators.
