In the Primera B match on August 26, 2023, the football world witnessed a hard-fought encounter between Real San Andres and Real Cartagena, with the latter securing a narrow victory of 1-0.

One of the most compelling aspects of the clash was undeniably the high tempo and physicality displayed by both teams. A record of 11 yellow cards were handed out by the referee, signifying the intensity of the competition. Real Cartagena collected six of the allotted yellow cards but surprisingly, unlike their opponent, managed to avoid seeing Red.

The home side, Real San Andres, despite collecting fewer yellow cards (5), saw one of their players receiving a red card. This, unequivocally, had a significant impact on the game. The home team, a man short, unquestionably struggled in the latter part of the second half.

Moreover, the away team's solitary goal, scored in the early part of the second half, just seconds past the hour mark, proved to be a turning point. Given this occurred only moments after a Real San Andres player was sent off, it was a classic example of how numerical superiority could be quickly exploited in the game of football.

Interestingly, the match stats portrayed a somewhat paradoxical story. Despite losing, Real San Andres dominated in terms of the number of corner kicks tipped at six compared to Real Cartagena's single one, indicating their frequent ventures into the attacking third. However, despite this dominance, they failed to convert any of their chances into an actual goal, shedding light on their lack of clinical finishing and perhaps, effective goalkeeper performances from the away side.

Simultaneously, Real Cartagena showed greater discipline in their defensive line, catching San Andres offside none times. In contrast, San Andres' defense let Cartagena stray offside once.

In conclusion, Real Cartagena's win was characterized by disciplined defensive performance, an opportunistic attack that capitalized on the home side's disadvantage, and perhaps a bit of luck in staying clear from a red card dismissal. Real San Andres, on the other hand, whilst creating plenty of chances, will rue their lack of composure in front of the goal and a costly red card that ultimately decided the fate of the match. They were, in essence, their own worst enemy, lacking the discipline needed to secure a win.
