In the evening match of July 18, 2023, Deportes Santa Cruz put up an exemplary show of skilled football, securing a convincing victory against CD La Serena in a Primera B clash. The away team won with a three-goal margin, which was the principal factor in this match outcome.

One of the standout elements of the game was Deportes Santa Cruz's lethal goal scoring efficiency. The first two goals happened fairly early on in the first half at 21:43 and 32:22, respectively, setting the conditions for the rest of the encounter. They finished the game with a third in the second half at 62:35, making it 3-0 with no chance of a comeback from CD La Serena.

While both teams demonstrated competitive determination, illustrated in part by the combined number of yellow cards (3 in total), Deportes Santa Cruz seemed to have mastered the art of discipline and timing. Remarkably, they did not commit a single offside during the entire match, a feat that speaks volumes about their tactical discipline and cohesiveness as a unit. This, in contrast with CD La Serena who were caught offside as many as 6 times, definitely played a critical role in the match as it could have potentially broken down several scoring opportunities.

The corner kicks were also a contributor to the game's momentum, with CD La Serena having a slightly higher count at 7 against Deportes Santa Cruz's 6. However, it appeared Deportes Santa Cruz were more effective at utilizing these set pieces, indeed rather indicative of Santa Cruz's superior situational strategy throughout the game.

In terms of disciplinaries, the home team collected two yellow cards, one in each half. The away team received one in the first half. Fortunately, the card counts remained within manageable boundaries with no red cards being shown. Yet, the match's rhythm could have been affected and potentially led to changes in game strategies following the cautions, more significantly in CD La Serena's approach.

In conclusion, the dominant performance by Deportes Santa Cruz in the match against CD La Serena was primarily down to their better goal conversion rate, disciplined tactical play with no offside calls, as well as better usage of the corner kick opportunities. These were the key determinant factors that resulted in Santa Cruz's clear 3-0 victory.
