The visitors took a step forward in the last quarter of an hour and created danger in front of the rival goal with a header from Joselu that stopped Ledesma (m.72) and another attempt by the Galician to which the Argentine responded well (m.82) .

The third time was the charm and Joselu he signed the second goal of the game, on goal, after a cross by Miguel de la Fuente, who was agile to scrape a ball that was lost over the baseline.
