At the start of the second half, the match was stopped for 15 minutes due to an injury to player Isaac, who had to be transported by ambulance to a medical center. The equalizer for UD Lanzarote came in the 57th minute, when Javi Martín controlled a ball in the area and his half-turn shot hit the crossbar before bouncing into the goal.
