Despite the local domination, the visitors opened the account through Alvaro Garcia with their first shot against Lunin. Rayo hit again in quick succesion through Alex Alegria just 5 minutes later to put the 0-2.

Leganes didn't give up and kept pushing forward and pulled one back on the 30th minute through En-Nesyri who scored his first goal for the club. The cucumbers almost found an equalizer before the break with chances by Eraso and Siovas.

The visitors tested Lunin at the begining of the first half but the Ukranian had no problems to deny Bebé. The hosts gained confidence and Rolan on two ocassions went close to the equalizer. The reward would arrive 20 minutes before the end when En-Nesyri scored his second of the night.
