This turned into a set-piece exhibition on 27 May 2023 when SD Huesca and Eibar clashed in the Segunda Division. Despite dominating in the corner kicks count with 8 compared to Eibar's 6, the home team, SD Huesca, failed to turn their set-piece advantages into goals. This was a major factor in the match that ended in a 1-0 loss to Eibar.
In terms of fouls, Huesca committed a total of 9, three more than their opponents Eibar, who committed 6. On the contrary, Eibar were deemed to be regularly crossing the line of fair play by the match official, accumulating a staggering three yellow cards compared to none from Huesca, and ultimately a red card. This saw Eibar operating a man down for a portion of the match, generally putting more pressure on their defensive setup and creating chances for Huesca. However, Huesca couldn't capitalize on this advantage.
The only goal of the match was scored in the second half by the visiting Eibar at the 81st minute (01:21:41). This late goal sent ripples through the fixture and dramatically affected the dynamics of the match. Huesca, having no goals to their name, were forced to leave spaces and push for an equalizer, risking themselves to potential counterattacks from Eibar. Despite the pressure, Eibar managed to close off the match without conceding a goal.
Perhaps one of the most interesting statistics was Huesca's single offside. With just one offside, this suggests that their offensive line was keen on their positioning and diligent about breaking through Eibar's defense without straying offside, proving their tactical discipline. In contrast, Eibar was not caught offside once during the game, which speaks to their meticulous approach to attacking, being careful not to squander opportunities through poor positioning.
In conclusion, while Huesca dominated corner kicks, proved disciplined in their forward play and benefited from a numerical advantage, they could not convert these opportunities into goals. Eibar, despite being more indisciplined and having fewer corner opportunities, made the most of a chance in the second half to snatch a decisive victory. This match provided a clear reminder that superior statistics in certain areas do not necessarily correspond to a win unless they are utilized effectively.
