The Espinillo fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Chago Puelles should have stopped the shot.

In the 83rd minute Ereinotz Paz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Chago Puelles saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

The referee ignored Espinillo's protests and gave Ronaldo Campderros a yellow card for diving instead. Ronaldo Campderros kicked well hit freekick during the 83rd minute of the match.
