Balaguer secured their permanence in Primera Catalana by defeating Alpicat 1-2 in a match played in Alpicat, where the home team showed more initiative but less effectiveness.

The team from Noguera guaranteed their stay in the category after a match in which Alpicat, despite dominating play, failed to convert their opportunities. The first goal of the match came in the 8th minute, when Bayona put Balaguer ahead, making it 0-1.
Shortly after the opening goal, Alpicat had a clear double chance with Hugo Roc and Unai, but neither could finish successfully. In the 23rd minute, Burgos assisted Unai on a run, but his shot went just wide of the post. Before halftime, Nelson prevented Balaguer's second goal under the posts, and Rocas missed another double opportunity for the home side.
In the second half, Alpicat maintained their pressure and relentlessly sought the equalizer. In the 52nd minute, Vendrell almost reached a pass from Unai. In the subsequent play, Unai, very active throughout the match, crossed from the left for Ribera to equalize at 1-1. However, in the 79th minute, Graells secured the victory for Balaguer with a free-kick goal from midfield, thus confirming their team's permanence.
