In the Segunda Federación matchup between UM Escobedo and UD Barbastro, it was the visiting team that secured a decisive 2-0 victory. Barbastro's ability to convert key opportunities was notable, with both goals coming in quick succession early in the second half, thanks to incisive playmaking. The timing of the goals, scored in the 57th and 60th minutes, not only gave them the lead but also allowed them to dictate the pace of the match thereafter. The efficiency and coordination in Barbastro's attack were in stark contrast to the home side's inability to capitalize on their possession.

UM Escobedo struggled to break through a well-organized Barbastro defense; their attack lacked the sharpness and creativity needed to exploit the minimal number of set-pieces they had. Despite earning four corner kicks compared to Barbastro's two, Escobedo failed to leverage these situations into tangible scoring opportunities. This inefficiency at set-pieces may have been symptomatic of a broader struggle with execution and teamwork, as the home team did not register significant shots on target that could truly test the Barbastro goalkeeper.

Discipline emerged as a significant factor influencing the game dynamic. Although UD Barbastro accumulated six yellow cards, which signaled an aggressive defensive approach, they avoided crossing the threshold into more detrimental consequences like red cards. Their strategic, albeit risky, physical play hindered Escobedo's rhythm and opportunities to generate momentum. Conversely, Escobedo's less physical approach (with only three fouls) failed to disrupt Barbastro's strategy or phase their coordinated build-up and transitions. Ultimately, Barbastro's balanced aggressive play and superior execution during critical phases of the match were decisive in their win.
