This was certainly an intriguing scoreless match that took place between CA Union de Santa Fe and CA Platense Buenos Aires on 15th July 2023 at 17:00 EEST as part of the Liga Profesional competition. Despite no goals being recorded on either side, there were several elements from a statistical standpoint that make this match worth a closer examination.

Firstly, the discipline aspect of the game was quite noticeable. The aggression was quite prevalent, with CA Platense Buenos Aires receiving twice as many yellow cards (2) as CA Union de Santa Fe (1). The first yellow cards for both teams came within the first half, within just two minutes of each other. Platense Buenos Aires, however, bagged a second yellow card in the 49th minute of the second half. This factor, combined with their higher number of fouls (6 compared to Union de Santa Fe's 3), indicates a higher level of aggression from Platense Buenos Aires which did not translate into scored goals on this occasion.

On the tactical side of things, one of the key statistics to look at was the number of corner kicks, which serves as an indirect indicator of the attacking pressure a team is applying. Union de Santa Fe had the upper hand with 5 corner kicks compared to just 2 for Platense Buenos Aires. This suggests a more aggressive attacking strategy from Union de Santa Fe, yet sadly, none of these corner kicks resulted in goals.

Additionally, Union de Santa Fe recorded 2 offsides, which could indicate an eagerness and will to break through the defensive line but also a lack of precision in their offensive execution.

It’s crucial to mention that despite the higher disciplinary and offensive indicators, neither team was able to achieve a breakthrough making the match a goal-less draw. This highlights the fact that these teams relatively equal when it comes to the final execution and the importance of capitalizing on the key moments. It ultimately points to the teams' overall performance being more closely matched than the isolated statistical figures might suggest.

To conclude, the main characteristics of this match were disciplined but aggressive play from Platense Buenos Aires, a higher level of attacking pressure from Union de Santa Fe, but an overall lack of accurate execution from both sides. In the future, bettors might want to take into account not just the goal-scoring and disciplinary statistics, but also a team's ability to convert attacking pressure into actual goals.
