The match on October 31, 2023, between CA Platense Buenos Aires and Newells Old Boys ended in a hard-fought draw, with neither side being able to stamp their authority in the goal department. Despite playing at home, CA Platense Buenos Aires were unable to convert any of their chances, marking the third match in succession in which they failed to score.

Taking a more in-depth look at the numbers, we find that the Newells Old Boys were more offensively effective than CA Platense Buenos Aires. The Away team obtained six corner kicks compared to three by CA Platense Buenos Aires, suggesting a more substantial attacking presence. Continuous pressure in the opposition’s half often pays dividends, but nothing broke free in the Newells Old Boys' finishing to alter the scoreboard.

The discipline of both teams was also outstanding, with only home team CA Platense Buenos Aires picking up a pair of yellow cards at the 74th and 88th minute of the second half. The away team, Newells Old Boys, avoided any bookings. This could be seen as a positive, but it might also suggest they were not putting enough pressure on their opponents.

Offside was a frequent occurrence in this match with Newells Old Boys straying off more frequently, being caught offside four times compared to CA Platense Buenos Aires’ two. It shows that Newells Old Boys were pushing for the goal and looking for attacking plays but CA Platense Buenos Aires did well to hold a high line, catching their forward plays offside.

Despite CA Platense Buenos Aires' disciplinary issues and being outgunned in the attacking stats, their defence held firm. They were able to disrupt Newell's Old Boys offensive line by forcing offsides and maintained a clean sheet despite the greater corner kick threat from their opposition.

In conclusion, this was a match marked by solid defensive setups and disappointing attacking output. CA Platense Buenos Aires struggled to mount significant goal threats, while Newells Old Boys' dominance in terms of corner kicks did not contribute to any goals. Both teams will need to work on their attacking strategies in the upcoming matches to become a more significant threat to the opposition's goal. The discipline of both teams, particularly the lack of yellow cards from Newells Old Boys, is a positive takeaway from this match. A clean disciplinary record can be a key factor in tight matches, where the slightest mistake can directly influence the result.
