- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Estadio Municipal Castalia!
- 5' Mario Gaspar has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 415 appearances.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CD Castellon that had 90 games and scored 92 goals.
- 15' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Thomas van den Belt suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Brian Cipenga, a Congo DR , has 1 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 27' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Mourad El Ghezouani makes it 0-1.

- 40' The referee shows Elche CF player a card on 40.
- 45' It looks surprising CD Castellon does not make any changes. Douglas Aurelio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 46' Magnificent from Pedro Bigas! That is 9 goals in 247 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 46' The CD Castellon bench stirs into life. Daniel Villahermosa is withdrawn and Albert Lottin gets his opportunity.
- 51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both CD Castellon and Elche CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 56' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 60' A tactical swap from Elche CF — Josan Fernandez on, Carlos Clerc off on 60 minutes.
- 63' Time for substitution for CD Castellon. Douglas Aurelio is replaced by Jetro Willems.
- 68' The crowd applauds Brian Cipenga as he leaves the pitch. Punzano steps in for CD Castellon.
- 69' Another change for CD Castellon made on 69 minute. Daijiro Chirino leaves to be changed by Ousmane Camara.
- 71' Elche CF receives a card for a hard tackle on 71.
- 72' Elche CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. John Chetauya is hanging Gerard Hernandez on the field on 72 minute.
