Cádiz responded almost immediately. In first-half stoppage time (45+1), Antonio Cordero levelled the score at 1–1, converting after good work from Suso to send both sides into the interval on equal terms.

The game remained finely balanced after the restart, with both coaches turning to their benches. Cultural introduced Iván Calero, Sergio Maestre, Lucas Ribeiro, Roger Hinojo and Diego Collado over the course of the second half, while Cádiz brought on Brian Ocampo, Dawda Camara, Sergio and Sergio Ortuno as they looked to tilt the contest.

It was Cádiz who struck next. In the 80th minute, Cordero completed his brace, this time set up by Joaquín González, to hand the visitors a 2–1 advantage and put Cultural Leonesa under serious pressure late on.

However, the home side refused to fold and were rewarded in stoppage time. In the 90+3 minute, Maestre, one of the second-half substitutes, found the net after an assist from Bicho to make it 2–2 and ensure the points were shared.

The match featured several early and late bookings, with yellow cards shown to Iker Recio, Víctor García, Moussa Diakité, Suso and Lucas Ribeiro. Beyond the goals, substitutions and cautions listed here, more detailed match statistics and events were not provided in the available data.
