This Segunda Division matchup between CD Mirandes and Racing Santander proved to be a tightly contested battle. With neither team finding the net, the 0-0 draw was certainly not void of movement and a number of remarkable statistics.

Both teams showed marked aggression with CD Mirandes committing 13 fouls, and Racing Santander slightly ahead with 14 fouls. The referee's book was coloured by a total of eight yellow cards, split evenly between the sides. Racing Santander received yellow cards in the 32nd and 34th minutes of the first half, and in the 51st and 62nd minutes of the second half. CD Mirandes, on the other hand, saw yellow in the 41st minute of the first half, and the 54th, 71st, and 81st minutes in the second half. Neither team, however, had a player sent off.

CD Mirandes also fell behind in the battle for possession, as evidenced by their 9 corner kicks compared to Racing Santander's 10. Strong defensive formation and accuracy in clearance of the ball by Racing Santander limited Mirandes’ opportunities to convert their corner kicks into goals. Despite this, their backline fell into the offside trap thrice, more than Santander, who were halted by the linesman's flag only once. This statistic indicates a more disciplined approach from Racing Santander in addition to their solid defensive performance.

In conclusion, the aggressive nature of the match, as highlighted by the numerous fouls and cards, impacted the team's focus on creating clear cutting chances and scoring, leading to a stalemate.
