The conflict started very rhythmically. Jean Paul got the first chance with a shot that hit the post. Manresa countered with a high-lost all-in-one shot.

Although Hercules struggled a lot on defense, Raúl Ruiz created a second chance for the Alicante side with a long shot in a very clear first half.
At halftime, Lolo Escobar sought a solution. Eimil was replaced by Sandro Toscano and Raúl Ruiz delayed his position. In the attack, Salah made his debut for a Jean Paul wearing yellow. Ander Vitoria saw how a player from the subsidiary was selected for the attack. And after a while it was Salah. Big action from Alvarito who created the first clear chance of the second half.

Thus came the final moments when everything would be decided, and increased tension because of the importance of the result. And so came the end of the match, with a bland draw and the feeling that Hercules lacked the offensive solutions to aspire to victory.
