In the MTN Elite One encounter between PWD Bamenda and Gazelle de Garoua that ended in a 2-2 draw, a number of intriguing statistical patterns emerged that significantly influenced the match outcome.

Gazelle de Garoua emerged in the first half with a seemingly disciplined formation and aggressive execution culminating in them leading by two goals in the second half. The first goal was at the 50th minute and the second at the 82nd minute, a strategic move that might have been focused on unsettling Bamenda's defense. However, this aggressive approach also saw Gazelle de Garoua players commit several infringements, accumulating a total of five yellow cards, two in the first half and three in the second half. The yellow cards issued at the 25th and 44th minute of the first half might have disrupted the Gazelle's momentum and encouraged PWD Bamenda to push back.

Starting the second half two goals down, PWD Bamenda managed to rally and stage a remarkable comeback. The first goal for Bamenda was scored at the 73rd minute, and the equalizer followed at the 88th minute, showing a resolute spirit within the Bamenda squad.

This match's defining moment might be around the 88th minute when PWD Bamenda scored the equalizer mere moments after Gazelle de Garoua received the latest of their 5 yellow cards at the 84th minute. This potentially reflects disruption within Gazelle's defensive arrangement, allowing Bamenda to capitalize.

PWD Bamenda received only one yellow card during the entire match, implying a more controlled approach to defense and discipline overall on their part, which likely boosted team morale and focus.

In conclusion, while Gazelle de Garoua initially showcased strong offensive prowess, their discipline might have cost them the win. A combination of intense pressure from PWD Bamenda, obvious in the number of corner kicks they earned, and a noticeable surge of offensive prowess in the late game, allowed Bamenda to secure a draw from a seemingly losing position.
