On July 23rd, 2023, in the Primera B competition, Real Cartagena hosted CD Barranquilla FC. Overall, the game was in favor of the away team, with CD Barranquilla FC taking the win with a final score of 2-1.

Taking a look at the stats, it's clear that key to CD Barranquilla FC's victory was their superior early performance in the first half. The away team managed to net two goals within the first 30 minutes. Their first goal came early at exactly 19 minutes and 58 seconds into the match, cutting short the comfortable phase of settling down for the home team. Their second goal followed soon after at the 29 minutes and 28 seconds mark, a quick succession that probably put some pressure on Real Cartagena.

Under such pressure, Real Cartagena displayed a spirit of endurance and were able to scrape a goal back before the end of the first half. Their stubborn resistance paid off at the 44 minutes and 38 seconds mark when they scored, ending the first half with a scoreline of 2-1.

On a less positive note, discipline was a problem for the home team. Real Cartagena racked up a total of 2 yellow cards, with the first coming soon after their opponents' second goal, at the 31 minutes and 17 seconds mark. The second yellow card didn't appear until later into the second half, crossing the line at 01 hours, 30 minutes, and 54 seconds.

On comparing stats, Real Cartagena led in corner-kicks with a total of 7 corners to their name. Corner-kicks often calibrate the attacking threat a team poses; the fact that Real Cartagena had a significant lead in this department might suggest that they were trying to apply more pressure in order to even up the scores. CD Barranquilla FC, on the other hand, had 4 corner kicks.

Nevertheless, corner-kicks alone can't be a barometer for a team's performance. Even though Real Cartagena had more corner kicks, they were unable to find the back of the net as often. This suggests that, despite their proactive approach, they may have missed a clinical finisher in their midst.

In terms of fouls, again, it was the home team who were more culpable with a total of 7 fouls. The away team, on the other hand, managed to keep their fouls count to 4.

In conclusion, for this match, it was the early flurry of goals from CD Barranquilla FC in the first half that proved decisive. Despite increased pressure from Real Cartagena in the form of corner kicks, they could not quite close the gap in the scoring. A lack of discipline, evident through the home team's higher foul and yellow card count, might have also played a significant part in their defeat.
