In this closely contested match between UE Santa Coloma and Ranger's FC, the primary statistical factor influencing the outcome was the early goal by Ranger’s FC. Scored just 18 minutes into the first half, this goal put the visitors in a commanding position. UE Santa Coloma struggled to find the back of the net despite having a higher number of corner kicks, tallying 7 against Ranger’s FC's 4, which suggests more attacking opportunities but a lack of effective execution in the final third.

Discipline was a significant issue that affected both teams' performances, with UE Santa Coloma receiving 6 yellow cards, one of which escalated to a red card, deeply impacting their ability to maintain the necessary pressure to equalize. Ranger's FC was not far behind with 5 yellow cards, their aggression mirroring the home team but managing to avoid a red card, thus maintaining better composure on the field. This difference in discipline proved pivotal, as playing down a player can severely hamper a team’s tactical versatility.

Both teams seemed evenly matched in offside calls and managed to defend the offside trap effectively, with only one offside apiece. However, Ranger's FC capitalized on their early lead and managed the game effectively afterwards, leveraging their goal to control the game's tempo. The match, riddled with fouls, turned into a battle of maintaining composure, where Ranger's FC's slightly better disciplinary control allowed them to hold onto their early lead until the final whistle.
