Sporting Gijon's 2-0 victory over Cordoba CF was a demonstration of clinical finishing and effective game management. The home team's early breakthrough at 43 minutes set the tone for the match, providing them with a psychological edge. This initial goal was pivotal in unsettling Cordoba's defense, forcing them to play more aggressively, which later resulted in multiple yellow cards. Sporting's second goal, scored in the 85th minute, solidified their dominance despite Cordoba's continued efforts to claw back into the game.

Cordoba CF had more corner kicks (7) compared to Sporting Gijon’s 5, indicating periods of attacking intent and pressure on the home team's defense. However, Cordoba struggled with efficiency in converting these set-piece opportunities into goals. On the other hand, Sporting's 6 offside calls reveal their aggressive forward play, though it did not impede their ability to capitalize on crucial moments in open play. Despite Cordoba's slight edge in attacking set-pieces, Sporting Gijon’s defensive compactness and discipline were key to neutralizing these threats.

Both teams displayed equal discipline in terms of fouls, each committing 7. However, Cordoba’s lack of discipline was evident with their two yellow cards compared to Sporting’s one. This discrepancy disrupted Cordoba’s rhythm, as they were forced to temper their physicality, which played into Sporting’s hands, allowing them to control the tempo. Sporting's superior management of the game's tempo and efficiency in front of goal were the decisive factors in seizing all three points.
