In the match up between CA Union de Santa Fe and Estudiantes La Plata, the result was a closely contested 1-0 victory for the away team, Estudiantes La Plata. With just one decisive goal in the second half, it was clear that Estudiantes defended their zone rigorously.

An insightful look into the stats reveals interesting aspects that helped shape the match outcome. Union de Santa Fe visibly dominated certain areas of the match such as corner kicks, with 10, compared to Estudiantes 2. However, Estudiantes La Plata proved to be more efficient with their opportunities and scored the only goal of the match.

Despite having only one instance of offside throughout the match compared to Estudiantes' zero, Union's goal-scoring opportunities were ineffective. This suggests that even with their corners and venture into the rival area, they could not convert these into goals, making us question their striking efficiency in this match.

Analyzing the disciplinary aspects of the game shows both teams racking up yellow cards. Union had 3 cards in comparison to Estudiantes's 4. It is worth mentioning that three out of the four yellow cards Estudiantes received came in the second half, which could suggest a rising defensive urgency as they sought to maintain their narrow lead secured early in the second half.

Substitutions do not factor into this analysis as the data set did not include it, so it is difficult to measure the impact of fresh legs on the game.

In conclusion, even though Union led in terms of corner kicks and had fewer yellow cards, Estudiantes managed to secure a victory. They were able to capitalize on their goal scoring opportunity despite being on the back foot in terms of possession. This proves the old adage that 'It's not about how much of the ball you have, it's about what you do with it' held true for this match. Ultimately, the key factor that determined the match outcome was efficiency in capitalizing on goal-scoring opportunities, an area where Estudiantes outplayed Union.
