The Liga Profesional match between Newell's Old Boys and Godoy Cruz AT on the 29th May 2023 was a tough contest marked by rigorous defensive tactics and, unfortunately, quite a few fouls reflected in an unusually high number of yellow cards.

Despite a notable lack of corner kicks, Newell's Old Boys proved themselves adept at capitalising on their opportunities, recording 2 goals without conceding any. The first goal came convincingly in the first half at 24 minutes 24 seconds into the game, providing an early advantage. As the second half progressed, Newell's Old Boys punctuated their win with a second shot finding the back of the net.

Reacting to the relentless pressure by Newell's Old Boys, Godoy Cruz resorted to tougher measures, leading to them committing a total of 6 fouls against Newell's 2. This discrepancy played a significant role in the match, as Godoy Cruz received 4 yellow cards, one more than their opponents. Interestingly, both teams had a player sent-off by the end of the 90-minute duel, further reflecting the intensity of this clash.

The away team might have had 7 corner kicks against the home team's 0, but they were unable to convert these into successful scoring opportunities. This inefficiency dramatises their struggle to exploit set-pieces, a skill that could have potentially changed the outcome of the game. It's worth noting that both teams were flagged for offsides only once, which suggests that tight positioning discipline was maintained at the frontlines.

In conclusion, although Newell's Old Boys might have had the home ground advantage, it was their ability to make the most of their chances and maintain discipline, particularly during goal-scoring opportunities, that gave them the edge in this match. Moreover, Godoy Cruz's limited success in converting their significant number of set-pieces and their lax discipline reflected in higher counts of fouls and yellow cards, underscored their downfall in this match.
