The game between Deportes Tolima and Atletico Nacional Medellin, held on May 18th, 2023, for the Primera A competition, ended in a 2-2 draw. The first half was dominated by Deportes Tolima who managed to score twice within just six minutes at the 28th and 34th minutes of the match, leading 2-0. However, despite the early goals, Atletico Nacional rose to the occasion in time and managed to change the rhythm of the game.

The turning point seemed to be Atletico Nacional's first goal in the 48th minute of the first half. They kept the momentum going into the second half and levelled the score within just 6 minutes of play. These stats suggest that while Deportes Tolima started the match with more verve and tenacity, Atletico Nacional displayed better resilience and adaptability, quickly shifting the momentum in their favour.

Despite the high number of goals, the match wasn't as offensive as one might think when viewing the key stats. There was parity in offsides, with one each for both sides. The corner kicks, however, were more skewed towards Atletico Nacional who had 10 to Tolima's 3. This hints at a more aggressive offensive approach from the away team in their attempt to equalise, and eventually level up the score.

The foul count remained relatively low for this intense match: 9 fouls committed by Deportes Tolima and only 5 by Atletico Nacional but cards matter too. With Deportes Tolima having received 3 yellow cards, all in the second half, and Atletico Nacional getting 2, it's evident that discipline was an issue for the home side. The 3 yellow cards for Deportes Tolima may indicate a level of frustration, possibly resulting in loss of focus and control.

In terms of substitutions, no data was provided. Successful use of substitutions can often change the dynamical tempo of the game and could have contributed to the final outcome.

Analysing all these statistics, it's clear that Atletico Nacional's ability to regroup after being two goals down, coupled with a sustained aggressive offensive strategy, and Deportes Tolima's diminished discipline in the second half played a significant role in the final 2-2 result.
