In a tightly contested match between Pontevedra CF and Racing Ferrol, the home side emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. Pontevedra took an early lead just shy of the 12th minute, which set the tone for their aggressive yet tactical approach throughout the match. Racing Ferrol quickly tried to respond but faced discipline concerns, picking up their first yellow card within the first 20 minutes.

Statistically, Pontevedra's superior discipline off the ball was evident with zero offsides, compared to Racing Ferrol's two. Racing Ferrol, however, demonstrated better pressure in terms of corner kicks, dealing seven compared to the host's three. This difference in corner count points to Racing Ferrol's higher offensive press, though it ultimately did not translate into an advantage on the scoreboard.

As the game progressed, tensions spiked with each team recording two yellow cards, showcasing the physical nature of the contest. Despite conceding more fouls, Pontevedra managed to hold their defensive line effectively. Notably, both teams' commitment to a physical approach did not escalate to red cards which helped maintain numerical balance on the field.

The factors that leaned the match in Pontevedra's favour were their efficient use of possession and shot accuracy, despite fewer corner opportunities. Their second-half goal at the 81st minute proved decisive, highlighting their strategic patience and ability to capitalize on limited chances. Racing Ferrol's failure to manage their discipline, especially concerning fouls and yellow cards, disrupted their match rhythm, ultimately affecting their ability to overturn the deficit late in the game.
