The last kick of the game ensured Sevilla Atlético suffered defeat at Águilas FC in Jesús Galván's first outing as coach. Despite a display full of endeavor and threat provided by Isaac Romero up front, the reserve side were consigned to a loss that sees their league position unchanged in second place of the Segunda RFEF. 

In an even first half that was largely devoid of opportunities, it was the hosts who went closest to breaking the deadlock through a double-chance that fell to Baeza, whose first effort was well blocked by Ramón Martínez before the follow-up was missed. Isaac then had the first sighter for Jesús Galván's new side, going close from a long-range free-kick. Shortly after, Isaac was found by a measured cross-field pass from Zarzana before having his powerful low shot diverted wide by home goalkeeper Iván Buigues in the visitors' best moment of the first period.  

En la reanudación, Isi Ros obligaría a Alberto Flores a realizar una buena intervención en el primer palo para evitar el primer tanto de los locales. Francis Ferrón, por su parte, firmaría la réplica del Águilas FC con un disparo que no encontraba el arco sevillista. Ante la suma de efectivos en campo hispalense, los de Jesús Galván cerraron filas en los últimos compases del encuentro, sorprendiendo a la contra buscando la victoria en el Estadio Centenario El Rubial. Isaac, en una jugada muy similar a la que firmaba en el primer tiempo, se topaba con Iván Buigues en la última llegada de los hispalenses. Con ambos equipos firmando el punto del empate, en la última acción del encuentro Ebuka lograba materializar un córner en el primer palo, sellando la definitiva victoria local en el descuento. 

When the game resumed, Isi Ros forced Alberto Flores into a top near-post save to keep the game scoreless. Francis Ferrón then also threatened to put the home team ahead but his shot from distance narrowly evaded the target. In the closing stages Sevilla Atlético defended resolutely and looked to hit on the counter at the Estadio Centenario El Rubial. And, in a similar move to his first-half chance, Isaac was close to opening the scoring when he collided with Iván Buigues after being put through in what would prove to be the final chance for the visiting team. However, with the draw now seemingly a guarantee, Ebuka managed to convert at the near-post from a corner, securing the three points for Águilas FC with no time left for a reply.
