CD Alcoyano had to settle for a point after trailing for more than an hour, eventually rescuing a share of the spoils with a stoppage-time equaliser. CD Cieza made the early breakthrough and looked capable of holding on as the match entered its final stages.
Domingo Pujante gave CD Cieza the lead in the 27th minute, capitalising on a rare chance to put his side ahead. Alcoyano dominated possession and territory but had to wait until the 90th minute to equalise, when a late goal levelled the score at 1-1.
The statistics underlined Alcoyano's control: they had 71% possession and eight corners to Cieza's three, yet CD Cieza actually registered more shots on target with five to four. Alcoyano dominated the ball but were outdone for much of the match by a stubborn Cieza side that committed 22 fouls in a determined defensive display.
