The team from Valldigna returned empty-handed from Requena after losing by the narrowest of margins in the penultimate match of the regular season. The "rogets" had nothing at stake, having already secured their promotion play-off, while their opponent was fighting to avoid relegation.

The urgency of the Requena team was key to the outcome of the match. The home side showed great determination against a Tavernes team that was very wasteful, an unusual circumstance for them. The fatigue from playing four matches in ten days, especially the two Nostra Copa games, took its toll on the Valencian team, which has qualified for the grand final of this competition.

In the first half, Tavernes had little attacking presence or accuracy, with many turnovers and a lack of continuity in their play. The home goal came after two uncharacteristic errors. After the break, the team showed more bite, dominating the situation with more attacks and clear chances, such as a shot saved by the home goalkeeper, two headers that missed the target, and a great shot from outside the area that hit the post.

The coach of UE Tavernes, known as "Tomaca", commented that the team had felt the strain of the recent intense matches, citing the example that Novelda CF, their opponent in the Nostra Copa semifinals, had also lost, thus ceding first place. The team is trying to manage its players, who are already focusing more on the cup final.
