In a match of strategic planning and tactful execution, Uruguay U23 came out on top in their October 23 Pan American Games match against Dominican Republic U23. Each pick within the teams had a significant impact on the overall course of the game.

Uruguay U23 showed their prowess with a single goal fired at precisely 35 minutes and 36 seconds into the first half, and it turned out to be the decider in this low-scoring but intense match, ending 1-0 in favour of the home team. Uruguay U23's solitary goal acted as the lynchpin that altered the trajectory of this competition. It is worth highlighting the goalkeeper's performance too; keeping a clean sheet signifies the exertion behind each save.

Turning our attention to disciplinary actions makes the competition even more interesting. With a total of 5 yellow cards handed out throughout the match, it is clear that this was a fiercely competitive encounter. The intensity rose early on, with the home side picking up the first yellow card at 14:49, followed by a yellow card for the opposition only a few minutes later at 23:52. The home crowd couldn't rest though as two more yellow cards were issued to the home team, with one at 31:03 of the first half and another less than 20 minutes before the final whistle at 77:04. The visitors also received their second yellow card in the 78th minute.

Despite the back-and-forth pattern observed in bookings, it did not severely impact the team numbers on pitch as none escalated to result in a red card. However, these bookings suggest that aggressive defensive attempts were employed by both teams and could be indicative of pressure put on both sides.

Furthermore, the distribution of corner kicks was split evenly between both sides, with each awarded 5. Urguay did have a slight advantage when it came to offside calls, getting only 1 while their opponents received none. This suggests a relatively level playing field where both teams balanced their defensive and offensive strategies effectively.

The highlights of the match and our dataset indicate that the goal by Uruguay U23 in the early part of the match had the most significant impact on the outcome. Despite the equal corner kicks and the slightly heavier booking on the home team, the Dominican Republic U23 couldn't capitalize on their chances. The tight defence and disciplined offence by the Uruguayan side proved to be the winning combination in this matchup.
