First defeat of the season in the stadium in a morning in which Valery and Robert Navarro debuted and in which the vermillions once again made clear the enormous difficulties they have in creating danger in front of the opponent’s goal.
The match started hectic and daring with two teams in search of the goal and the ball circling the two goals in an almost continuous succession of counterattacks that raised the pulse in the stands, although none of them ended in anything positive. Samú Costa forced Diego Conde to intervene at 12 minutes and a very violent shot from Ilias He brushed the post shortly after.
In the end, normality was altered in the strategy in the most unexpected way.

Marc did not return after the break so Valery joined the party. Antonio Sánchez went to midfield and the forces remained absolutely equal until An incorporation of Raíllo was decisive. At 57 minutes the captain crossed the field, opened the wing for Asano and joined the penalty spot to look for the shot to the center of the Japanese, but what he found was an involuntary clearance towards his own goal by Raúl Albiol, who beat Conde without remission.
