Spectators: 7762 (Terracing: 5823, Seating: 1785, VIP seats: 154) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Bonifacio Mundo started the match with the kick off. The supporters of Brutal DeLuxe booed when Eibar 09-12-18 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position.

After 59 minutes of play, Eibar 09-12-18's Christian Cai made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Dionisio Llanos recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 96th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
