Soler restored the away team's lead from the penalty spot in the 76th minute, before an own goal by L. Beitia in the 84th minute added to the drama. A. Barrenetxea then netted in the 90th minute with an assist from C. Soler, while Orri Óskarsson received a red card in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Standout performers included Carlos Soler with a rating of 8.3 and David Otorbi at 8.
