In an intriguing encounter in Segunda Federacion on 29th of January, sustained pressured from CD Ibiza Islas Pitiusas saw them walk away with a valuable 1-0 away victory against a seemingly resilient Mallorca B side.
CD Ibiza started their prolific attack from the get-go, resulting in a goal that was scored quite late, at 01:37:58 of the second half. Mallorca B’s defensive wall couldn't withstand the incessant onslaught, leading to them conceding the only goal of the match. Even though both teams committed several fouls, leading to an equal distribution of yellow cards at four each and even the home team receiving a red card, Ibiza managed to exploit the moments where Mallorca B was a man down.
An analysis of the corner kick statistics showed both teams squared in attack with each managing to win 7 corner kicks. This reflected a parity in offensive play, however, it was CD Ibiza who utilized their opportunities effectively. Mallorca B, despite having an equal number of set pieces, failed to capitalize on them, hence staying goalless throughout the match.
On the disciplinary front, the game was relatively heated. The home team accumulated four yellow cards, two in each half. The away team also received four yellow cards, majority were given in the first half indicating an aggressive start from the visitors. Furthermore, the home team having raked up one red card indicated the high intensity of the game, possibly getting the better of the home team composure.
Interestingly, offsides were not a factor in this game with there being only one during the entire match and that too was for the away team. This suggests that despite their aggressive approach (evidenced by the corner kicks), CD Ibiza managed to maintain a disciplined line, both in defense and offense, which undeniably contributed to their edge in this tight game.
In conclusion, the most significant factors for the match outcome were the disciplined attacking and the ability to capitalize on their chances by CD Ibiza. The statistical mirror of the game reveals that the performance of both teams was somewhat similar, though in the key aspects, CD Ibiza gained an upper hand. In a heated match where both sides had equal corners and yellow cards, the home side’s lapses in defensive discipline, especially their red card, appear to have been the costliest errors leading to their defeat. CD Ibiza will leave elated, having secured three points on such a tight match day.
