The Primera B saw Deportes Antofagasta emerge victorious against CD Cobreloa Calama on 2nd April 2023, with a stunning 1-4 away victory. The scoreline may suggest a one-sided match, but a deeper dive into the data suggests that the match was more evenly balanced at least for the first half.

CD Cobreloa Calama took an early lead, scoring a goal in the 17th minute. This must have invigorated their side, however, their lead was short-lived as Deportes Antofagasta answered with a goal of their own in the 61st minute, which marked the turning point of the match. Antofagasta then dominated the rest of the second half, finding the net three more times in the 72nd, 94th, and 96th minutes.

Interestingly, Deportes Antofagasta received significantly more yellow cards, with six to Cobreloa's two. This could imply that Antofagasta adopted a more aggressive play style which may have contributed to their control of the match in the second half. However, this aggression did not lead to red cards.

It’s also worth mentioning that Cobreloa had an advantageous number of corners, with six compared to Antofagasta's two. Despite such opportunities, the home team failed to convert these into tangible points.

We saw a minimal number of offsides, with only one recorded for Deportes Antofagasta, while CD Cobreloa Calama managed to stay onside throughout the match.

We can infer from the foul count that Cobreloa behaved more disciplined on the field, with only two fouls compared to Antofagasta's five. However, the lack of aggression could imply a less assertive play, which possibly could have affected their defensive capabilities.

In conclusion, despite the difference in conduct and possession reflected in the yellow cards, corner kicks, and foul data, the deciding factor in this match was Deportes Antofagasta’s effective conversion of their goal attempts especially in the second half which clearly determined the result of the game. This highlights the essential feature of football, where capturing opportunities is just as vital as controlling the game.
