In the Primera A competition played on August 26, 2023, between Club Union Magdalena and Alianza Petrolera FC, the former team came out on top with a definitive 2-0 victory. This victory was largely due to the tactical precision demonstrated in the first half of the match, which saw Magdalena carry a two-goal lead into the break.

Investigating how this lead was established, it can be observed that Magdalena was effective in utilizing the goalscoring opportunities within the first half. The first goal was a swift inroad into the match coming at the 20th-minute mark followed by the second exquisite finishing at the 43rd minute.

Alianza Petrolera struggled to contain the offensive front of Magdalena. This is reflected in the high number of corner kicks (7) awarded to the home team, which indicates a higher amount of pressure applied by Magdalena towards the away team's goal.

Despite these statistical advantages, however, it's worth noting that Magdalena resorted to a slightly more aggressive play style in the second half, receiving two yellow cards at the 69th and 81st minute. Contrarily, Alianza Petrolera received three yellow cards, one in the first half at the 46th minute and two later in the second half at the 81st and 88th minute. None of the yellow cards escalated to a dismissal, but they reflect a high-paced, intense game battled out in the midfield.

Meanwhile, it's no surprise that Alianza Petrolera trailed in corner kicks with a total of 5, reflecting a lower amount of attacking opportunities in comparison to Magdalena.

Overall, Club Union Magdalena's win was marked with early goals, effective utilization of corner kicks, and consistent offensive pressure, despite a more aggressive play style which led to a higher number of bookings in the second half. The inability of Alianza Petrolera to respond to these tactics or develop significant attacking opportunities of their own, as reflected by fewer corner kicks, was a key factor in their defeat.
