A team of Cut it out he got stuck in the second half, although with a good combination in the attack he enabled the goal of Héber Pena, which brought the score to 1-1.

The people of Ferol started the game deliberately, they had possession of the ball and the game. They easily reached the top, with Luis Chacón very active, as well as the internees Héber Pena or Carlos Vicente. However, he was unable to finish. Luis Chacón had the clearest chance at the beginning of the game, with a shot from outside the penalty area, the ball was stuck to the post, but goalkeeper Ernesto, well placed, managed to stop the ball.

In full control of Ferrol, in the 26th minute of the match, Linares’ first attack comes. It was born in the failure of the defense when it was necessary to control the ball, the opponent stole and the ball reached Hugo Díaz, the center forward of Jaén, who sent the ball into the box.

Nothing new for a Racing team that pays dearly for every mistake it makes in defense, and in the end suffers from a lack of punch in attack. There were still 45 minutes to go, but Racing was already rowing against the current. In addition, it was time to take risks and this made it easier for Linares who always operated with lines very close to each other, waiting for a steal to counter-attack.

After the break, coach Linares decided to insert fresh men into the defense, bringing Squadrone to the center of the defense, overtaking Lolo as a pivot in front of the defensive line. More difficulty and less space for the racinguist attack, which lacked clarity.

The men from Ferrol lacked ideas and speed when it came to moving the ball to hurt Linares. Racing dominated the ball, although without coming, while Linares was looking for his counter for the second goal and the seal of the match.
