In an enticing session of the Segunda Federacion on May 21, 2023, SD Compostela managed to edge out SD Tarazona with a slender 3-2 victory at home.

In terms of ball possession, SD Compostela displayed superior gameplay with their early goal in the first half at 36 minutes 13 seconds, which promptly set the pace for the match. It seemed like Compostela's early strike shook Tarazona as they were unable to respond with a goal during the first half. Compostela withstood the pressure from Tarazona and controlled the game, curious given that they had fewer corner kicks (3) than Tarazona (7), traditionally an indicator of more offensive play.

Both the teams received 2 yellow cards each. While SD Compostela secured their first booking in the first half, it didn't have any direct impact on the scoreline. The second yellow card for Compostela came late in the second half, by which time they had already secured a potentially game-winning lead of 3 goals. For SD Tarazona, their bookings came in relatively quick succession in the second half. It would appear that desperation was setting in as they trailed behind.

The second half of the match was fascinating as Compostela doubled their lead just after the break at 49 minutes 53 seconds and further asserted their dominance with a third goal at 55 minutes 23 seconds. However, Tarazona wasn't ready to capitulate readily and started their counter-attack. Despite a significant deficit, the visiting team managed to score their first goal in the 78th minute followed by a second in the 89th minute, making for a nail-biting finish.

While the determined resurgence from Tarazona in the latter stages of the game is commendable, it wasn't enough to compensate for their lackluster performance in the early and mid-portions of the match. Unlike their opponents, Tarazona failed to capitalize on their larger number of corner kick opportunities, suggesting they lacked the necessary precision or strategy to convert these into goals.

Ultimately, Compostela's initial dominance held strong against Tarazona's late rally. The fact that they scored early in both halves indicates they may have been better conditioned or started the halves with more aggressive strategies.

In conclusion, while the match was an admirable display of resilience from SD Tarazona, SD Compostela reigned superior owing to their strategic start to both halves and effective defense, despite having fewer corner opportunities. The teams matched each other in terms of disciplined gameplay indicated by equal number for yellow cards, but it was Compostela's timely goals and effective possession that dictated the favourable outcome for them.
