After a tough loss, a weary Eldense regrouped with a fresh mindset, choosing Pepico Amat as their home stage and a solo leadership approach to push forward. Amorebieta emerged as the focal point, lifting the team from the start and quickly finding himself in the promotion mix as the league calendar moved into the middle phase. The visitors faced a refreshed Eldense, who immediately tested the opening minutes with a bright attacking spark, as Cris Montes and Juanto Ortuno disrupted the visiting lines and tried to unlock the defense without giving up their own shape. In the end, Amorebieta grew into the game, gradually shaping a dangerous moment in the final third while Vallejo helped anchor the line and keep the action balanced. [Citation: Local match report]
Are we watching a game dominated by the home side at the Biscayan field? The answer is yes, with Eldense causing disruption through sustained pressure, even as opportunities remained scarce. A key sequence ended with a well-timed intervention by the visiting goalkeeper, while Amorebieta’s threats persisted in the final third as the ball circulated and the pace intensified. Vallejo, newly introduced, linked up to force a defining arc in the final minutes of the first half, though the shot ultimately missed its mark. [Citation: Local match report]
As the second half began, Amorebieta played with greater intensity, pressing higher up the pitch in search of a goal that would swing the momentum. A powerful strike from Dorrio found Vallejo in a dangerous position, and the substitute wasted no time in testing the goalkeeper. A subsequent ball from Jauregi rebounded to Rayco, who finished clinically to give Eldense a 1-0 lead. The home side carried pressure after the opener, but the visitors steadied themselves and eventually began to turn the tide with more purposeful play. As the minutes ticked on, Eldense grew colder on the ball and struggled to maintain the tempo, while Amorebieta looked for the equalizer that would shake the outcome in the closing stages.

Justice
Amorebieta remained clear about his defensive responsibilities, inviting Eldense to press while keeping the lines tight in the back. The Basque side forced a high-stakes defensive contest, repeatedly interrupting the home side and preventing a smooth buildup. Eldense found it difficult to construct a coherent attacking sequence as the defense held firm, leaving the visitors with limited options to unlock the block. The period closed with a sense that the balance of play had shifted, but the scoreline remained in favor of the home side as the clock wound down. [Citation: Local match report]
Two minutes after the regulation time elapsed, a rebound angle opened up for the visitors, delivering a finish that restored parity at 1-1. The encounter swung toward Eldense, but Amorebieta settled in and resisted further damage as the match approached its finale. In the final moments, Amorebieta pressed once more and delivered a last-breath push that kept the result in the balance, finally feeling like a deserved contribution at the end of a gripping contest.
