A completely different scenario from the previous match led SD Huesca to finish empty-handed in their penultimate game at El Alcoraz. This time, the ball did not seem meant to go in, despite the Oscenses’ relentless efforts until the final minutes. Hidalgo’s side even managed to cut the deficit in added time, but the referee disallowed the hard-fought goal. Thus, a much more efficient version of Racing, converting their few chances against Alvaro’s goal, was enough to secure a win, topping it off with a third goal in the final moments of injury time, with Hidalgo’s men fully committed forward and after the disallowed goal hard blow.
Although the match started even in terms of statistics, Racing managed to take the lead before halftime, scoring in the closing stages of the first half following an unfortunate incident where Alvaro saved the initial shot, but the rebound hit the post and ended up right in front of the goal. Earlier, Kento had enjoyed the clearest chances for his team, first with a shot from the edge of the box saved by the goalkeeper and then with a volley that went wide. The Azulgranas created danger from set pieces in the final minutes before the break but were unable to prevent the 0-1 scoreline.
Less than a minute into the second half, Vilarrasa tried a right-foot shot at goal, but it went wide. However, Racing fired back quickly with more accuracy when Arana won his position to fire home from a corner at the far post. Hidalgo’s side tried to react immediately with two clear chances, first from Juanjo Nieto and then from Elady. Just two minutes later, Hugo Vallejo came close with a shot that grazed the crossbar. SD Huesca were determined to stay in the game, and El Alcoraz were fully aware. Juanjo Nieto tried to replicate his powerful long-range shot from the previous match, but this time the goalkeeper palmed it away. The ball just would not go in for SD Huesca. Ruben Alves cleared substitute Javi Mier's shot off the line. Finally, a goal seemed to come in a shot by Joaquin that Mboula pushed into the net, but the referee disallowed it for an alleged handball by Javi Martinez, cutting off all the Azulgranas’ comeback hopes. Finally, Ekain sealed the deal in the last minute, scoring the third and final goal for the visitors.
