Martxelin Alarcon scored 3-1 in the 85th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jeremy Bilbao, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Egun Regueira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Romano Rioseras having to interfere. Egun Regueira's late challenge caught a Barlovento's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Egun Regueira helped the player get up and apologised. In the 93rd match minute, Hoces FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Egun Regueira to maneuver through the defense.

After having played for 99 minutes, Garaile Guridi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Barlovento's supporters crossed their fingers, but Garaile Guridi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Barlovento fans cheered their team off the field, for while Hoces FC had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
