In a match from Segunda Federacion held on 17 September 2023, Orihuela CF was pitted against UCAM Murcia CF that culminated in a 1-1 draw. The home advantage, albeit minutely, seemed to play a minor role in balancing out the slight statistical edge held by UCAM Murcia. Both teams displayed resilient defense and potent aggression, which is reflected through, not just the equal goals, but their aggressive figures in the metrics of yellow cards, offsides, and corner kicks.

The opening goal came from UCAM Murcia, exactly 55 minutes and 15 seconds into the second half. This aggressive break into the lead could not, however, be held onto, as Orihuela CF responded with a well-deserved equalizer 7 minutes and 15 seconds later, at 62 minutes and 30 seconds to be precise.

Aggression was evident on both sides, with the referee brandishing the yellow card seven times in total throughout the match. Orihuela CF received three of those, while UCAM Murcia picked up four. The timing of these cards, particularly the ones received by Orihuela CF in the second half, had a direct impact on their game. Two of Orihuela's cards coming after their first and only goal, perhaps indicates a rise in physicality as an attempt to protect their equalizer.

UCAM Murcia outperformed Orihuela CF in corner kicks by 7 to 4, which implies their constant threat in goal frames. They, however, couldn't convert such opportunities into tangible results in the form of goals. On the contrary, Orihuela CF, despite their lesser corner accumulation, efficiently exploited their attacks to secure a balanced result.

The offside count can be considered a significant determinant of a team's offensive strategy. Orihuela found themselves offside more than twice as much as UCAM Murcia with a count of 5 to 2, revealing their proclivity for direct attacks and their ability to hunt for an attacking edge.

Despite a higher statistical score for aggression, offensive pushes, and set-pieces for UCAM Murcia, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Orihuela CF used their opportunities well, showing that sometimes efficiency can outweigh abundance. Both teams exhibited substantial potential, yet the lack of precision and composure in the final third might have cost them two points instead of one. Consequently, the draw can be considered a true reflection of the match dynamics with the aggressive strategies to score neutralizing each other out in the end.
