On 15th October 2023, as part of their Primera B campaign, CD Iquique faced off against CD Santiago Wanderers in a match that saw the home team secure a triumphant 3-2 win. This match analysis will delve into the various statistical factors that shaped the match's outcome.

In stark contrast to Santiago Wanderers who scored their only two assists, Iquique boasted a 100% assist-to-goal conversion rate, achieving 3 assists and consequently three goals. This data highlight's Iquique's superior tactical and team play on the field.

Observing the shots on target data, CD Iquique had a higher percentage with 8 compared to Santiago's 4. A higher number of shots on goal directly correlates to more scoring opportunities, and Iquique capitalised on their superior attacking prowess.

Santiago's fewer opportunities can also partly attributed to Iquique's high defensive pressure which resulted in 15 committed fouls by Santiago compared to only 11 by Iquique.

The teams’ goalkeepers showed interesting levels of performance. Santiago's goalkeeper managed to make 5 saves in comparison to Iquique's 2 saves, reflecting Santiago's high threat level but also revealing their keeper's ability to withstand pressure. However, this high save count was not enough to prevent a defeat.

In terms of control over the field and ball possession, CD Iquique displayed excellent control earning themselves a total of 5 corner kicks versus Santiago’s 3. This gained territory likely increased their scoring opportunities.

An interesting note is that while both teams kept a clean sheet with no red or yellow cards, the Santiago Wanderers were forced into making more substitutions (3) than CD Iquique (2), which possibly represents their efforts to disrupt Iquique's play with fresh legs or fill in for injured players.

Finally, offsides were marginal in this game but the home team accrued more with 2 against Santiago’s 1. This indicates an aggressive attacking strategy but they did well to keep it in check and not let it disrupt their game flow excessively.

In conclusion, while both CD Iquique and CD Santiago Wanderers displayed commendable performance, CD Iquique's decisive factor was their superior conversion of assists into goals, their effective control over the ball with higher shots on target, and exploiting corner kicks. It's these key areas that brought them their well-deserved victory and they will look to replicate this clinical efficiency going forward.
