The opening 45 minutes saw few clear chances, with both teams cancelling each other out through disciplined pressing and compact defensive lines.

They had a golden opportunity in the 78th minute when a corner kick caused chaos in the Arenas box, but the header from centre-back Álvaro Rodríguez was brilliantly saved by the goalkeeper. The visitors continued to press, but Arenas held firm, dropping deeper and protecting their lead with last-ditch tackles and clearances. The final whistle confirmed a vital three points for the home side.
