The white team achieved a vital triumph at a crucial point in the season, earning three points that allow them to face the final two matchdays with intact options of reaching the promotion play-off spots. Nearly 9,500 people gathered at the Jaén stadium to witness the match.

From the outset, the atmosphere around the Jaén stronghold was spectacular. Real Jaén, needing to shake off the defeat suffered a couple of weeks ago against Atlético Malagueño, did not disappoint. The team led by the coach showed its determination against an opponent also fighting to escape the relegation zone.

The first goal came early, at fifteen minutes, when a forward headed in a precise cross, unleashing euphoria at La Victoria. The situation became complicated for the visiting team in the 32nd minute, when a player was sent off with a direct red card, leaving his team with one less man. Shortly after, Real Jaén extended their lead with another goal from the same forward, making it 2-0 before halftime.

Despite the lead and numerical superiority, football proved unpredictable. At the start of the second half, Salerm Puente Genil surprised with a goal that narrowed the gap, taking advantage of a moment of weakness from the home team. This goal served as a wake-up call for Real Jaén, who intensified their attacks in search of reassurance.

The hosts created numerous scoring opportunities, but the longed-for third goal remained elusive. Tension grew in the final minutes, with the visiting team, despite being a man down, pushing for an equalizer. Finally, the final whistle confirmed Real Jaén's 2-1 victory, a result that tastes of glory and hope. This triumph foreshadows a massive fan turnout in Murcia for the decisive clash against UCAM, keeping their promotion play-off aspirations alive.
