During the first half, Atlético Malagueño imposed their own style of play, but failed to create any clear goal chances.  Paco Aguza was sent off just before half-time, with Otero scoring from a penalty to put Oviedo 1-0 up.  The ‘Malaguistas’ ended the first 45 minutes facing an uphill struggle to equalise in the second half.
 
Oviedo keeper, José committed a foul on Emilio Guerra, allowing the striker to level up the score board with a penalty (1-1).  Despite being a player down, Clotet’s boys created numerous goal opportunities, but failed to take the lead during the remainder of the match.  Due to the 2-2 draw in the first leg, and the value of away goals, Malagueño lost their promotion fight, after playing the first of three knock-out matches to qualify for promotion to Second Division B.
