In the Primera A league showdown between Atletico Bucaramanga and Deportivo Cali on the 29th of August, 2023, it was the home team, Atletico Bucaramanga, that emerged victorious with a narrow 1-0 win. This result was a tale of statistical discrepancies and discipline that played pivotal roles in defining the outcome of the game.

The main highlight of the match - the lone goal - came rather late, arriving at 59 minutes into the second half. Atletico Bucaramanga's defensive rigor compounded with an effective strategy to exploit Deportivo Cali's weaknesses was clearly evident.

A measurable factor that stood out in this match was the discipline of both teams, albeit more favourable to Atletico. The home team received two yellow cards - one in the first half at 20 minutes and the other shortly after their decisive goal in the second half at 61 minutes. Deportivo Cali was slightly more disciplined, getting only one yellow card during the second half, 10 minutes following Atletico's score. Despite having an equal number of fouls committed by both sides (3 each), the difference in yellow cards certainly increased the pressure on Deportivo Cali who found themselves a goal down.

The match showed a significant asymmetry in corner kicks, with the away team - Deportivo Cali - dominating this area of the match with a total count of 7 compared to Atletico's mere three. Despite gaining more opportunities via corner kicks, Deportivo struggled to convert these into goals.

The offside count also serves as an intriguing statistical viewpoint of the match, with Atletico Bucaramanga pushing the line harder as depicted by their two offsides, compared to Deportivo's one. This could suggest an aggressive attacking front from the home side in the search for their decisive goal.

Drawing conclusions from the numerical data, Atletico's win seems to be a result of a disciplined and measured approach towards defence and their chosen moments of attack. Deportivo Cali, while maintaining equal discipline in terms of fouls, conceded precious opportunities that cost them the match. Despite corner kick domination, failure to capitalize and score from these chances along with defending Bucaramanga's seemed to have played a crucial role in the outcome of this encounter.
