First Half: Llanes Start Strongly

CD Llanes began the derby on the front foot and took the lead in the 12th minute. Diego Pellón found space at the edge of the box and struck a low effort that beat the goalkeeper’s dive. The home crowd responded, and Llanes continued to press for a second goal.

UD Gijon Industrial gradually settled into the game and equalised in the 34th minute. Adrián Suárez reacted quickest to a loose ball inside the area and stabbed it home from close range, silencing the home support and changing the mood of the contest.

Second Half: A Penalty and a Late Twist

However, UD Gijon Industrial never stopped pushing. Their reward came in the 82nd minute when Marcos Llera arrived at the back post to head in a deep cross, making it 2-2 and setting up a tense final period. Both teams had half-chances to win it, but neither could find a fifth goal.
