In a fiercely competitive Primera Division match that ended 1-3 in favor of the visiting UE Santa Coloma side against UE Sant Julia, several key statistical factors and patterns emerged that significantly influenced this outcome.

The first decisive statistic has to do with the goal timing. A quick-starting UE Santa Coloma established dominance early in the game with back-to-back goals at the 20th and 24th minutes. Although UE Sant Julia shot back with a goal at the 28th-minute mark, the impact of those two early goals persisted. The final, and arguably the most crucial goal from UE Santa Coloma, arrived just over two minutes into the second half, throwing UE Sant Julia off balance when there was plenty of time left to fight back.

In terms of disciplinary actions, both teams showed equal aggression, each accumulating 4 yellow cards over the entirety of the match. Interestingly, a back-and-forth pattern of fouls emerged, particularly in the second half. Yellow cards were almost exchanged consecutively between the teams from the 70th to the 93rd minute. However, despite this high intensity, all confrontations did not escalate into red cards, which could have led to more dramatic shifts in the match dynamics.

Turning to set-piece scenarios, the clear opportunities to score didn't have a significant difference between both teams, with UE Santa Coloma securing 4 corner kicks compared to UE Sant Julia's 3. While not a big discrepancy, it suggests that the visitors had a marginal upper hand in pressuring the opposition's goal. Similarly, each team had a near-equal record of straying offside, UE Santa Coloma at 4 times and UE Sant Julia at 3, indicating that both were continuously probing forward, trying to exploit the defenses.

However, in this particular game, the winning edge for Santa Coloma was not about enjoying a larger share of set-pieces or forward moves, but seemingly about capitalizing on the acquired chances more effectively. A case in point is their early lead in the first half and the quick goal immediately at the start of the second half - times in which the home team might have been less prepared defensively.

To sum up, UE Santa Coloma’s victory in this fixture wasn't the product of a dominant stranglehold over key match statistics. Instead, it was their effective utilization of key moments that provided them with the match-winning advantage over UE Sant Julia.
