Elche dominated Cartagena in a low-scoring affair
Elche secured victory in Cartagena in a match lacking in goalscoring excitement. The possession of the ball was clearly on the side of the Ilicitano side, who created more scoring chances, but without converting them into goals. FC Cartagena, on the other hand, barely had any opportunities, with the yellow card to K. Olivas in the 13th minute being the only noteworthy action in the first half.
The game was characterized by tactical play and numerous substitutions, hindering the flow of the match. The lack of goalscoring opportunities and Elche’s overwhelming possession dominance, holding 76% against Cartagena’s 24%, dictated the tempo of the encounter.
