In a tense encounter on April 16, CD Diocesano emerged victoriously with a hard-earned 1-0 victory over CD Estepona. It was a game decided by marginal differences as the intensity and competitiveness reflected in the statistics.

The solo goal of the match came in the second half, pushing CD Diocesano's edge. The home team CD Estepona fought hard, with their aggressive approach demonstrated by a higher number of shots, both on and off target (10 shots with 3 on target, against CD Diocesano's 6 shots with 4 on target). However, their efforts went unrewarded, largely due to the quality goalkeeping from CD Diocesano who matched CD Estepona's three saves. The ineffectiveness of CD Estepona's attack was a defining factor in this match.

An interesting statistic that underlined the match dynamics was the number of fouls committed. CD Estepona conceded 12 fouls as opposed to CD Diocesano's 8, indicating perhaps a desperate attempt to regain control of the match and the defensive tension they were under.

On the set pieces front, the home side had the upper hand by executing 5 corner kicks, but they couldn’t convert these opportunities. On the other hand, CD Diocesano might have had fewer corners, but their use of substitutes was more efficient. CD Diocesano’s decision of preserving its players and using only 2 substitutes as opposed to Estepona’s 3, possibly contributed to the team's uninterrupted focus and sustained game flow.

Notably, the game was pretty clean with no red cards and yellow cards awarded to either team, highlighting the disciplined performance by both sides.

Cautious offside strategies were apparent from both sides, with only one violation from CD Estepona and 2 from CD Diocesano, indicating a cautious approach to avoid falling into offside traps.

In conclusion, despite higher shot and corner count, CD Estepona was off the mark in the final third of the field, with CD Diocesano leveraging their fewer but more fruitful attacks to take the victory. The solitary goal and a formidable defense made all the difference in a game where CD Diocesano showed the value of quality over quantity.
