The match on the 31st of March 2024, was a tightly fought encounter between Deportivo Fabril and UP Langreo at the Segunda Federación league. UP Langreo emerged victorious with a slim margin of 1-0, against a Deportivo Fabril side that struggled to turn pressure into goals. A statistical analysis of the game helps to provide some context to the results.

Let's start by discussing the goals. The solitary goal came early in the first half at 26:03 from UP Langreo. This goal seemed to shape the rest of the match as Deportivo Fabril were unable to respond, thereby the early goal was a colossal game-changing factor.

Looking at the disciplinary actions, the yellow cards were distributed evenly with two for each team. However, the timing of the cards issued to the teams are worth noting. Both of UP Langreo's yellow cards were awarded before the 50th minute, which led to changed tactics, limiting aggressive play. In contrast, the home team's second yellow came only at 72:56, indicating a prolonged tactical adjustment period.

Corner kicks for both teams stood at 5 each. This suggests a balanced game in terms of teams’ ability to press and threaten the opponent's goal. However, neither team was able to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities, which appears to be a missed opportunity for Deportivo Fabril who were chasing the game.

A clear differential ponder point was offsides. Deportivo Fabril were offside on 5 occasions, significantly higher than UP Langreo, who had zero offsides. This underlines more aggressive, but less orchestrated attacks from Deportivo, which could've cost them chances to score. Typically, the higher frequency of offsides indicates a lack of coordination or a more direct offensive strategy, something Deportivo Fabril might want to reconsider in their future games.

In conclusion, the match was a fiercely contested encounter, with both teams pretty comparable in terms of aggression, possession, and corner kicks. Even though the cards were evenly distributed, the timing of the cards played into the hands of UP Langreo. The distinct factor, however, was the discipline of UP Langreo in keeping their offensive play onside, unlike Deportivo Fabril. The combination of an early goal and disciplined offensive play helped UP Langreo secure a slim victory in this match. Perhaps Deportivo Fabril will recalibrate their strategy in future games to control the offside trap and aim for goal-conversion opportunities.
