The Yellow team faced a very difficult match on matchday five. Sergio González's side faced an Athletic Club side that grew exponentially on the pitch on Saturday. Guruzeta and Sancer, in the first half hour of the game, were able to crash balls against the woodwork of the goal defended by Conan.
The Yellows looked to make themselves strong in their area against the dangerous arrivals of the local players, who had more than one chance before the referee signalled the end of the first half. Sancet, before the end of the first half stoppage time, sent the ball over the crossbar. With the score goalless, both teams went to the changing rooms.
With Iñaki Williams very sharp on the right flank, the Basque team entered the second half. Just before the hour mark, Iza saved a ball that was heading towards the back of the goal, which was the prelude to Athletic's first goal, scored by Guruzeta in the 66th minute. A minute before, Maxi Gómez had the opportunity to score from a cross by Robert Navarro.
Minutes after the Basque side's first goal, Asier Villalibre took advantage of a ball that flew into the Cadiz area to head home the second goal. Cádiz looked to respond with a strong shot from Javi Hernández that Unai Simón cleared for a corner, but it was Athletic who would get back on the scoreboard.
In the 90th minute, Iñaki Williams found himself in front of Conan Ledesma to beat him with a gentle touch and make it three-nil at the end of the game.
