In the Segunda Federación match between CD Don Benito and UD Almería B, the away side secured a narrow 2-1 victory largely shaped by their effective first-half performance. CD Don Benito commenced with an early lead, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from Almería B, which was evident just nine minutes into the game. However, the home team’s inability to hold onto this lead was quickly exposed, as Almería B's quick equalizer at the 21-minute mark shifted the momentum significantly. This shift culminated in a decisive goal just before halftime, which set the stage for an intricate battle of tactics in the second half.

Despite having more corner opportunities (6 compared to Almería B's 2), CD Don Benito struggled to convert these set pieces into tangible scoring chances. Their repeated offside discrepancies, totaling six, reflected a lack of precision and timing in their forward play, undermining several promising attacks. In contrast, Almería B demonstrated better composure and discipline, maintaining an organized defensive structure while being similarly caught offside six times but in situations that carried less threat to their overall gameplay.

Discipline further defined this encounter, notably in CD Don Benito’s case, as they accrued three yellow cards and a critical red card in the second half. This red card tilted the dynamics further in favor of Almería B, who only received one yellow card. The numerical disadvantage for Don Benito restricted their capacity for effective pressing and ball recovery, allowing Almería B to manage the game's tempo and protect their lead with greater assurance. Overall, disciplinary issues and ineffective exploitation of attacking opportunities were pivotal in determining the outcome for the home side.
