Covering the past thrilling encounter between CA Platense Buenos Aires and CA Rosario Central in the heat of the Copa de la Liga Profesional on 17th December 2023, the match analysis is based solely on statistical factors and data provided.

To begin with, CA Rosario Central won the match by a solitary goal with the defining moment coming in the first half 39th minute. This suggests a faultless execution of game strategy by Rosario and subsequent inability of the home team to balance that deficit.

An important indicator of the intense competition was the high number of yellow cards drawn by the home team (five cards). The first was drawn at the 14th minutes, second just before the half time mark, and the others following in 59th, 77th and 96th minutes respectively. It potentially highlights significant defensive strain put on Platense by Rosario's advancing attacks and possession.

Meanwhile, the away team drew just one yellow card in the 19th minute, indicating that they managed to maintain a fairly disciplined defensive front. With lesser cards, Rosario possibly had better control on the field and more players active, tilting the game in their favor.

Interestingly, the home team managed to earn more corner kicks (8) compared to Rosario's 5. However, Platense seems to have failed in effectively converting these opportunities into goals. Corner kicks, often viewed as a chance to launch decisive attacks, did not seem to have worked out for them.

Both teams were caught offside once, indicating an aggressive forward play strategy and a close contest between the offensive and defensive formations of both teams.

Crucially, the home team received a red card, which meant they had to play with one man down for a specific duration, providing Rosario an edge in terms of numbers on the field.

In conclusion, while CA Platense Buenos Aires showed an aggressive play with more corner kicks and got into quite a number of foul troubles, they could not capitalize on their opportunities. Conversely, Rosario took advantage of their disciplined play and the one key opportunity that came their way. One could argue that better discipline, efficient use of attacking opportunities, and numerical advantage at a crucial juncture helped CA Rosario Central to claim victory.
