In this closely contested Segunda Division clash, Cordoba CF managed to secure a narrow 1-0 victory over Malaga CF, largely due to their effective utilization of set pieces and capitalizing on a solitary chance to break the deadlock. Cordoba's goal, scored early in the second half, shifted the dynamics of the match and demonstrated their ability to seize critical moments despite an aggressive display, evidenced by the six yellow cards they accumulated. Their ability to maintain discipline after going into the lead was crucial in fending off a determined Malaga side.

Malaga CF, despite enjoying home advantage and more disciplined gameplay with fewer fouls than the visitors, struggled with end-product in front of goal. While they managed to generate five corner kicks and repeatedly challenged the Cordoba back line, their efforts were left wanting due to lack of precision. The offsides count of five for Malaga indicates difficulties in staying onside, possibly due to an over-eagerness to break the Cordoba defensive line.

Cordoba, with a higher corner count of ten, utilized set pieces effectively, keeping perpetual pressure on the Malaga defense. This tactical approach, coupled with their ability to absorb and counter Malaga's attacks, played a pivotal role in their victory. The visitors' tactical discipline in defense allowed them to withstand pressure, despite a high foul count, and focus on quick transitions which ultimately resulted in their decisive goal in the second half.
