In the eighteenth round, the Yellow Submarine snatched a victory at the Estadio de la Cerámica, scoring a penalty in the hundred and first minute, 1-0. At the beginning of injury time for the second half, the hosts also earned a penalty kick, but Gerard Moreno failed to beat the Catalan goalkeeper. It's worth noting that the away team ended the match with fewer players. The Red and Whites scored in the ninety-fifth minute, but the goal was disallowed due to offside. Míchel's team only hit the post once, while Gasaniga, the goalkeeper of the opposing team, made eight saves.
