In this intense match-up between Velez Sarsfield and Newells Old Boys in the Liga Profesional competition, the home team emerged victorious with a close 3-2 victory. This victory can be significantly attributed to stronger ball control and aggression as illustrated by the statistical data.

The Velez Sarsfield side showcased a solid offensive strategy which can be seen from the 11 on-target shots, 8 corner kicks, and fewer offsides (4) compared to Newells' 7 on-target shots, 7 corner kicks, and more frequent offsides (2). Velez Sarsfield's execution and shots on target helped keep the pressure up in the attacking half and demand more from Newells Old Boys' goalkeeper who eventually conceded three goals.

Moreover, a remarkable statistic can be picked up from the goalkeeper saves. Velez Sarsfield's goalkeeper made just 3 saves in comparison to the 8 made by Newells Old Boys, signifying a more robust defensive display by the home team. As well, it suggests more precise and lethal finishing by Velez Sarsfield's attackers.

On the other hand, despite having more fouls (14) than Velez Sarsfield (5), which usually implies robust or rough style of play, Newells Old Boys were not successful in stopping the home team from scoring. This reflects not only on their need to fine-tune their defensive approach but also on Velez Sarsfield's ability to manoeuvre through the rival defence.

Lastly, both teams fairly utilized their substitution opportunities with 3 substitutions each. The same competitive spirit was seen with the number of assists, which remained equal at 2 each, indicating the importance of organized teamwork in the game.

In conclusion, focused shots, excellent defensive skills coupled with effective offensive pressure, were the statistically significant factors that proved crucial for Velez Sarsfield’s victory. Newells Old Boys, despite their higher number of fouls, could not convert their aggressive play into a win.
