The Copa Argentina clash between Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza and CA All Boys on 18th May 2023 proved exciting, packed with eight cards, nine corners and six goals on display.

In terms of goals, CA All Boys outperformed Gimnasia y Esgrima with a 4-2 scoreline. Gimnasia y Esgrima opened the scoring with a penalty, but it failed to deter CA All Boys from maintaining their intensity throughout the game, scoring four times.

Despite the home side dominating corner kicks 5-4, they weren't able to capitalize on the opportunities generated. Gimnasia y Esgrima were caught offside 3 times in comparison to CA All Boys’ 2 times, which suggests they were attempting to play a high-pressing game but lacked the discipline to remain on side effectively.

Despite the pulsating attacking soccer, it was a rather disciplined match with both teams receiving the exact number of yellow cards (2) and no red cards issued. This implies a good control of aggression and fairness from both teams, although the home side finding themselves a player short, falling foul to the offside trap more frequently, might have played a part in their downfall.

While it wasn't a yellow card-laden affair, yellow cards were timed at crucial phases, particularly in the second half where Gimnasia y Esgrima got two between the 55th and the 86th minutes. This discomfort potentially prevented Gimnasia from making a comeback or halting the flow of CA All Boys towards victory.

To summarize, CA All Boys performed better as a unit, taking their goal-scoring chances effectively and using a disciplined game plan to clip Gimnasia y Esgrima’s rhythm, even when the home side had numerical superiority in corners and offsides. Their focus on their game at hand, irrespective of conceding an early penalty goal, was a significant factor in their success on the pitch. It was a game of missed opportunities for Gimnasia y Esgrima, who despite better stats in set-pieces, failed to make it count. The impact of late yellow cards also can’t be overstated, as it may have posed significant hurdles in their match momentum, culminating in the 2-4 defeat.
