In the Copa de la Liga Profesional match between Argentinos Juniors and Deportivo Riestra on the 31st of January 2024, Argentinos Juniors demonstrated their dominance on home soil with a solid 2-0 victory. The victory was underscored by statistical evidence that showed Argentinos Juniors controlling the match in both offensive and defensive terms.

Offensively, Argentinos Juniors pressure on the opposition was tangible, scoring two pivotal goals in the second half of the game. The first goal came very early in the second half, at exactly 52 minutes into the match, suggesting a refreshed and focused approach from the halftime team talk. A follow-up goal at the 64-minute mark essentially ruled out a comeback for Deportivo Riestra.

In addition to the impressive attack, Argentinos Juniors’ controlled the pace and the direction of the match through a substantial number of corner kicks, tallying up to a total of 10 compared to Deportivo Riestra's 3. This significant disparity indicates that Argentinos Juniors largely maintained possession in the attacking third of the field.

From a defensive perspective, the story was also positive for Argentinos Juniors. While the home team committed fewer infractions—an evidence of both discipline and fair play— with only 8 fouls compared to Deportivo Riestra's 13, and they kept a disciplined defensive line that resulted in zero yellow cards. Conversely, Deportivo Riestra's discipline faltered in the second half, resulting in one yellow card which likely disrupted their focus and momentum, and could very possibly have had an impact on their performance in the closing stages of the game.

The statistical evidence in this match shows a comprehensive victory where Argentinos Juniors excelled in key areas of the game. They controlled the match from an offensive standpoint with more goals and corner kicks, and maintained discipline and fairness in their defensive play, leading to fewer penalties. The important takeaway for Deportivo Riestra will be to address these shortcomings in discipline and ball possession in their following matches.
