Bermejo clincher
It took a 75th-minute Mario Bermejo goal for Recreativo to win through, and even then they survived a late scare when the home side hit the post in injury time through Juanito.
Recreativo nerves
José Luis Gallego's effort on the stroke of half-time appeared to have settled Recreativo nerves, but the home side replied on 47 minutes through Falín.
Ineligible player
Villanueva had replaced CF Ciudad de Murcia in the draw after the latter club fielded an ineligible player in the preliminary match between the sides.
