Despite logistical challenges prior to the game, the 'azulillo' team showcased their superiority on the field. Goals from Manny, Talaverón, Hugo Aranda, and David Velázquez were instrumental in overcoming the local side, which had already been relegated.
Coach Miguel de la Fuente opted for a strategic lineup, covering for significant absences such as Hugo Díaz and Fran Lara, and Aguado's suspension. The team started with Diego Barrios in goal, a defense comprising Víctor López, Becken, Álex Cova, and Eu Gutiérrez, a midfield of Joao Paulo, Hugo Aranda, and Alberto Fuentes, and an attacking trio of Talaverón, David Velázquez, and Manny.
Linares Deportivo took the lead in the 15th minute with a goal from Manny, following several earlier opportunities. Although UD Melilla managed to equalize with an unfortunate own goal by Becken, the visitors regained their advantage before halftime thanks to a masterful free-kick from Talaverón, making it 1-2.
In the second half, Linares Deportivo extended their lead with a header from Hugo Aranda in the 60th minute. Despite UD Melilla narrowing the gap with a goal from Chavarría, David Velázquez sealed the match in the 86th minute with a spectacular individual effort, concluding the score at 2-4. This victory ensures the 'azulillo' team's peace of mind, avoiding any last-day anxieties.
