The match started in the best possible way for the visitors, as Lemar opened the scoring in the 2nd minute after a great collective play initiated by Bryan Gil and continued by Tsygankov and Hugo Rincón. The atmosphere in the Sevilla stadium, already tense due to the local team's poor sporting situation, was completely frozen by the early goal.

Míchel's men controlled the first half and created numerous chances to extend their lead. Lemar was close to scoring a brace, and players like Bryan Gil, Fran Beltrán, and especially Tsygankov, missed clear opportunities against an inspired Odysseas. Sevilla, for their part, only threatened with a shot from Peque and a dangerous action that ended with the ball hitting the post.

In the second half, Sevilla coach, Matías Almeyda, introduced three changes and varied the structure to make it more offensive, pushing Girona back into their own half. The visitors opted to defend, and although Sevilla increased the intensity, they struggled to create clear chances until the final minutes.

The ending was dramatic. In the 92nd minute, a turnover by Echeverri was seized upon by Kike Salas, who unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the box to equalize at 1-1. However, the madness continued when, in the 95th minute, Iván Martín was fouled by Suazo for a penalty. Stuani, the usual taker, executed the spot-kick in the 98th minute, but Odysseas guessed the direction, frustrating what would have been a vital victory for Girona in the last action of the game.
