In the heart of the Primera Nacional competition on 30 July 2023, San Martin de Tucuman served as host to Agropecuario Argentino in an evenly contested match where both teams managed to score a single goal each, resulting in a 1-1 draw at the final whistle.

What became evident early on was that Agropecuario Argentino was keen to exploit the wide spaces, tapping into their tactical prowess to earn four corner kicks compared to none from the home side. Argentino was first to hit the back of the net at the 14:46-minute mark, a promising early lead that was however short-lived. With a quick counter, San Martin managed to equalize the scores at the 35:40-minute mark.

The hosts' aggressive approach contributed to the earning of three yellow cards within the first half. The first came at 18:30, followed by the second at 38:16, and the last one just moments before the half-time whistle at 42:00. Agropecuario Argentino wasn't far behind, racking up four yellow cards, all in the second half, at 60:09, 68:42, 75:03 and 82:07 respectively.

The adrenaline-filled match saw a red card awarded, marred the team of San Martin de Tucuman, tilting the balance of play towards Argentino in the later stages of the game. Yet, neither team managed to exploit their chances to change the final score.

Whilst offside trap was attempted by both sides, the home team was caught offside three times in comparison to Argentino's two times. An indication of Agropecuario's organized, compact defence and San Martin's tendency for through passes in attack.

For both teams, honing discipline could potentially have altered the final score given the close goal tally and large number of cards awarded. San Martin's lack of possession and aggression could have been mitigated by better use of wide areas, as evidenced by their failure to earn a single corner kick throughout the game.

To conclude, amidst the sent off of a player, the flurry of yellow cards, and a failed utilization of wide spaces, San Martin de Tucuman held stride with Agropecuario Argentino to maintain the scoreboard's status quo. Both teams demonstrated a comparable level of competition, although a more strategic use of possession might tilt the balance in future match-ups.
