UE Sant Andreu hosted Elche Ilicitano in a tightly contested match in the Segunda Federacion, ending with a 1-2 result in favor of the visitors. Elche Ilicitano took an early lead with two goals in the first half, which put pressure on the home team to play catch-up. Statistically, the match unfolded in an unbalanced manner, as UE Sant Andreu dominated the corner kick stats with a staggering 11 to Elche’s lone corner. This indicates that the home team was frequently able to press forward into dangerous areas, capitalizing on set-piece opportunities, though they were ultimately unsuccessful in converting these into goals.

A pivotal moment came when Elche Ilicitano found themselves heavily penalized, earning five yellow cards in the second half alone and ultimately resulting in a red card, leaving them to defend their lead with ten men. UE Sant Andreu’s two yellow cards were less disruptive but did affect the rhythm and aggression of their play. Despite being a man down, Elche's ability to maintain their defensive structure and composure under these difficult conditions was key to securing their slim advantage. This resilience, coupled with their early offensive efficiency, was central to their victory.

The match was also a testament to Elche Ilicitano’s clinical finishing. Though they had fewer scoring opportunities, they made the most of their chances with an impressive conversion rate. In contrast, UE Sant Andreu’s performance lacked the finishing touch required to capitalize on their higher frequency of attacking plays, as evidenced by their prodigious number of corner kicks. The disparity in yellow cards and the subsequent red card created a more fraught second half for Elche Ilicitano, but their early foundations—two well-timed first-half goals—provided a buffer that UE Sant Andreu could not surmount.
