The match between Eibar and Sporting Gijon was a testament to Sporting Gijon's efficient offensive execution and Eibar's struggle to maintain momentum. Eibar started strong with an early goal at 17:30, suggesting they might control the game. However, Sporting Gijon quickly responded with a goal at 28:38, then capitalized on Eibar's defensive weaknesses with another at 38:23 to lead by halftime. The home team's inability to sustain their initial momentum was apparent.

Sporting Gijon's victory was largely driven by their superior ability to convert chances, as evidenced by their three goals compared to Eibar's single strike. Despite having fewer corner kicks than typically expected of a dominating team, Gijon's clinical finishing compensated for this. On the other hand, Eibar's lack of offensive pressure is highlighted by their meager two corner kicks, indicating insufficient attacking prowess and creativity. This deficiency in creating opportunities significantly impacted their ability to recover from Gijon's lead.

A considerable factor influencing the match was the discipline of both teams, particularly highlighted by the ten yellow cards issued—five for each team. Most of these cautions came during a frenetic first half and early second half, suggesting a highly physical and possibly disorganized approach by both teams. However, Sporting Gijon managed to keep their focus better than the hosts, managing the game's pace effectively even when under pressure. While neither side saw red cards, the disruption in play due to frequent fouls may have particularly hampered Eibar's ability to establish rhythm and cohesion.
