The clash between Espanyol B and CD Ibiza Islas Pitiusas concluded without any goals, reflecting a truly intense but defensively sound encounter. Espanyol B generated significant attacking pressure, evidenced by their 8 corner kicks compared to Ibiza’s 3. However, their inability to convert these opportunities highlighted a lack of cutting-edge finishing required to break down a sturdy Ibiza defence.

Disciplinary issues prominently influenced the match's flow, particularly for CD Ibiza. The visitors incurred four yellow cards, escalating to a red card that left them with ten men for a significant part of the second half. This numerical disadvantage forced Ibiza into a more defensive posture, stifling any potential attacking outlets and limiting their ability to capitalize on counter-attacks.

Both teams recorded just one offside, suggesting disciplined attacking lines, though perhaps overly cautious without risking aggressive forward runs. Espanyol B's three yellow cards, including two in quick succession in the second half, indicated frustration in breaking down the opposition’s defensive setup. Their defensive organisation effectively neutralized CD Ibiza’s attempts, but a lack of clinical finishing in the final third remained their undoing in securing a victory.
