The opening minutes saw a cautious exchange of attempts. Sporting pressed to dictate the tempo, while Mirandés waited for an opportunity to strike. That moment arrived in the 11th minute when Salinas finished a well-worked team move by Juanlu to put the visitors ahead.
After the early setback, Sporting intensified their control of play. Possession favored the home side, but they struggled to convert pressure into clear chances in the final meters. Mirandés, on the other hand, landed a second blow while Sporting slept a bit at the back. Raul found space behind the defense and Jofre Carreras finished with clinical calm to make it 0-2, and the away support roared as the crowd in El Molinón grew restless.
Pedro Diaz answered for Sporting in minute 36 with a powerful strike from the right, lowering the deficit and injecting life into the game. The match then took on a new dimension as the hosts pressed higher, creating more in- and around-the-box moments. For Mirandés, the defense appeared unsettled, and Sporting pushed to capitalize, but the visitors held firm for the moment. The half ended with Mirandés still ahead, but the contest clearly alive with possibility for a late turnaround.
In the second half the momentum swung again. At the start of the period, a surgical right-hand shot from Pinchi forced Cuéllar into a save, and soon after Juanlu extended Mirandés’ lead to 1-4, seemingly sealing the result and triggering a chorus of whistles from the home fans. Yet Sporting did not fold. Aitor Garcia threaded a response in minute 80, closing the gap to 2-4, and the drama continued as the match entered stoppage time with Aitor once more finding the net to spark renewed hope for a late equaling goal. The final whistle confirmed a 3-4 scoreline that belied the earlier trajectory of the match.
Viewers could sense the lingering tension as the match moved toward extra time, with Sporting eager to mount a sensational comeback but ultimately unable to complete the turnaround. The scoreline reflected a lively and offensive contest in which several late chances shaped the conclusion, even as Mirandés clung to their advantage.
