After the VAR check, they were awarded a penalty. Budimir stepped up and converted from the spot.

Already at the 60th minute, the hosts reached the fifth goal, this time with Salva Sevilla. After that, Celta tried to decrease the difference, but once again stopped on goalkeeper Reina. In the end, the scoring was 5-1 to the hosts.
