In the Primera Division match on 03 March 2024 between CF Esperanca and AC d'Escaldes, AC d'Escaldes emerged victorious by a scoreline of 3-1. This analysis delves into some key statistical factors that arguably impacted the game's outcome.

From the very start of the match, AC d'Escaldes commanded the field by scoring the opening goal early at 22:56 in the first half. They maintained a solid defense in the first half leaving no chances for CF Esperanca to offset their lead. However, CF Esperanca managed to level the score to 1-1 in the beginning of the second half at 1:02:10. This didn't last long though, since AC d'Escaldes reinforced their attack and scored two consecutive goals in less than 3 minutes late in the second half, at 1:21:14 and 1:23:25, securing their victory.

What was particularly distinctive about this match was the significant disparity in discipline between the two teams. CF Esperanca collected an alarmingly high total of 8 yellow cards, two of which were consequential red cards, compared to AC d'Escaldes' relatively modest 3 yellow cards. This indicates the home team's loss of composure, possibly reflected in their performance and overall match strategy. Noticeably, six out of eight yellow cards for CF Esperanca were given in the second half, shortly before AC d'Escaldes managed to bag two goals. It is plausible that CF Esperanca's over-aggressiveness might have given opportunities to AC d'Escaldes to exploit and turn into goals.

In terms of set-pieces, AC d'Escaldes also had the upper hand with 3 corner kicks compared to CF Esperanca’s sole corner kick. However, the amount of corner kicks did not significantly impact the game's result as none of these resulted in goals.

Whilst fouls were slightly higher for CF Esperanca with 6 compared to AC d'Escaldes' 4, the numerical difference is not that significant to be a decisive factor, yet it reinforces the narrative of CF Esperanca’s indisciplined approach in this match.

Overall, statistical indicators lean towards a well-deserved victory for AC d'Escaldes due to their better discipline and efficient attacking play in the second half. CF Esperanca, mired by their disciplinary issues, particularly in the final third of the game, lost crucial control over the match, likely leading to their defeat.
