In the Segunda Federacion match-up between Rayo Cantabria and Gimnastica Torrelavega on February 3rd, 2024, the home team ended victorious with a score of 2-1. The statistical factors that played out in the match made the outcome largely unpredictable, yet the events and performance of the teams certainly impact the game's outcome significantly.

Rayo Cantabria had more shots on target, with a total of 9 against Gimnastica Torrelavega's 7, but it was the precision of their shots that tipped the scale in their favor, grazed the net twice to make two crucial goals. To complement the effective attacks, the home side enjoyed a solid defensive performance, which saw their goalkeeper making 6 critical saves.

However, it wasn’t all a smooth sail. Gimnastica Torrelavega put up a fierce fight. Their goalkeeper, though conceding two goals, recorded 7 saves, more than Cantabria's goalkeeper. Their offensive struggled with 4 shots off target, a factor that partially contributed to the defeat.

In terms of discipline, both teams maintained a clean slate with no recorded red or yellow cards. Rayo Cantabria committed more fouls, with 10 against Gimnastica's 8, indicating a tendency towards a more aggressive style. This had no direct impact on the result, given that the referees did not issue any cards.

The substitutions were balanced between both sides with each team making three changes. It's interesting to note that Rayo Cantabria, despite making the same number of substitutions, managed to keep the gameplay fluid and maintained the winning edge.

Lastly, offsides also played a factor as Rayo Cantabria recorded 2 offsides compared to Gimnastica Torrelavega's 1. This perhaps indicates their aggressive forward positioning and faster attack strategy, which contributed to the increase in their shot on target numbers and eventual goals.

In conclusion, Rayo Cantabria managed a win by maintaining a solid defensive backline coupled with an incisive and aggressive attack. But it was not an easy victory, as Gimnastica Torrelavega put up a good fight with their effort reflected in the goalkeeper saves and shots on target. The takeaway for bettors would be to consider teams' performance in both attacking and defensive positions, not just the obvious statistics.
