Cádiz fought back, with an early penalty goal from Ivan Saponjic in the 49th minute. However, each side looked hungry to win and Los Rojillos then found the back of the net, on 75 minutes thanks to Ante Budimir, taking the score to 2-1. Osasuna looked to have the game under control when they scored again and incerased their lead, thanks to a goal from Roberto Torres at the 86 minute mark to establish a 3-1. In the end though, Cádiz pull-back just before the final whistle, with a goal from Alberto Perea and seeing the game end 3-2.

For Osasuna, Roberto Torres, Enric Gallego, Jon Moncayola, Jony and Juan Cruz, came on for Oier, Ezequiel Avila, Javier Martinez Calvo, Ruben Garcia and Manu Sanchez.
