In the extension of the first half, the team of Quique Sánchez Flores had their best chance, a shot by Ángel Pérez in the clearing of a foul. The Valencia goalkeeper made a big stop and the rechace was sent back to Dimitrievski's hands.

After the break, the two coaches moved the benches in search of some fruit in a rather poor second half. In the final leg of the meeting, in the 78 minute, the Valencia found prize inan extraordinary play by Javi Guerra. Luis Rioja, a former Alavés player who had left minutes before, sent his pass to the bottom of the net, overtaking the exit of Sivera.
