The first half of the match in Bilbao brought an even game, but overall the visiting “mattresses” were closer to scoring. In the 13th minute, Yuri blocked Álvarez’s long corner shot from the goal line, and then Gallagher’s shot went wide of the goal.
23 seconds after the turn, the crowd of San Mamés was already celebrating a goal, but Nico Williams, starting from the offside, took the goal of Musso, who was defending in his first game in Madrid, and thus the goal was invalidated. In the middle of the half, Sancet made Musso work out, and in the continuation, the home team attacked more – despite this, the “mattresses” could be happy at the end. In the second minute of added time, after a home corner kick, the defender Lekue sold the ball very badly, and José María Giménez, running to the goal with Sörloth’s start, pushed the ball past the running Agirrezabala and then put it into the net. Not long after, Sörloth, who gave the assist, could have repeated this feat, but this time the Basque goalkeeper was able to save, so it remained 1–0success in Madrid.
In the first ten minutes of the Espanyol-Rayo Vallecano battle, which started a quarter of an hour later, we saw a quick change of goals: Alvaro Garcia gave the guests the advantage in the fourth minute, then Carlos Romero equalized four minutes later. For a long time it seemed that this would be the final result of the match, but in the 96th minute at the end of a home counter Alejo Veliz fired a shot into the upper left corner, winning the game for his team. 2–1
