The match that took place on 16th October 2023 between Honduras and Cuba during the CONCACAF Nations League was an absolute display of dominance by the home team, resulting in a 4-0 victory. If we delve into the match from a statistical standpoint, we can unearth several factors that significantly contributed to this outcome.

Honduras was already 2-0 up within the first 15 minutes of the game, which set the pace of the match. The first goal was found just after nine minutes and fifteen seconds, with the second only minutes later at thirteen minutes and six seconds. The early goals played a vital role in boosting the confidence and momentum of the Honduran side.

From an offensive perspective, the Hondurans had clear superiority in terms of corner kicks. They had 11 opportunities from corners, compared to Cuba's solitary one. This statistic is not merely an indicator of the high level of pressure Honduras put on the Cuban defense but also reflects their excellent ball possession and territory gain. It's safe to say the higher corner count played a pivotal role in their overall scoring tally.

The home side's lead was further extended to 3-0 just over the hour mark at sixty-six minutes and twenty-four seconds, and the fourth and final goal came very late into the second half at ninety minutes and forty-seven seconds. Compared to the first half, the goals in the second half were more spread out, possibly indicating a more evenly balanced second half.

An interesting insight into the discipline and control of both teams can be garnered from the offside and cards stats, indicative of both sides' playmaking and discipline. The Honduran team forced three offsides, maintaining a high defensive line, which played a role in breaking down the Cuban attack. Moreover, the team managed to maintain discipline and control with no yellow or red cards being issued, in contrast to the Cuban side who received two yellow cards.

In conclusion, Honduras' early foothold in the match, their ability to maintain pressure via corner kicks, and their disciplined defensive structure were major factors leading to their 4-0 victory over Cuba. Needless to say, Cuba struggled to meet the demands of the match as shown by the lack of offensive chances and the disciplinary issues which accrued throughout the game.
