Little to highlight within that equality from the beginning except for Made Cortez's skill in penalties. The second was stopped in the 19th minute to the concern of the Santanderians. Brenda Torres and Tati Masseu came out with their usual explosiveness in the last third of the first half to revolutionize the match. Gustavo Alonso Sánchez called a timeout with eleven seconds of the first partial to be played and the play worked out well. Jana Pinilla scored a penalty that tightened things on the scoreboard at halftime (13-12).

Tati and Cristina appeared while Pereda lost a bit of control of their game although they did not completely dismount from the match (22-19, min.13).

The Cantabrians continued to clench their teeth and after several doubts from the locals in attack, they got closer again in the scoring (25-24, min. 21:30). Made avoided the tie and Pereda suffered a two-minute expulsion for their player Alejandra Alonso, which caused a new visitor timeout with six minutes left for a heart-stopping ending.
Alonso's stop worked well again and tied the game again. Made spread her wings and Tati scored again to take the lead, but a new penalty allowed Pereda to tie with forty-nine seconds to play.
Juanmi Pérez prepared for the trenches and called a new timeout. After the tiñosero coach's pause, Brenda Torres armed herself with determination and got a penalty that the captain, Atteneri Morales, transformed, to make the Tiense stands jump and put her team ahead. Timeout from the visiting coach. In the restart, the referees expelled Tati for two minutes, but time was running out. Aldara Valles managed to arm her arm in a last effort, but the background referee annulled the goal considering that it was already outside the regulation time.
