In the Primera Division clash that took place on 9th April 2023, Deportivo Saprissa narrowly triumphed over AD San Carlos, scoring 2 goals to 1. The match was a calculated show of strategy and grit, with specific statistical factors playing a major role in the match's outcome.

Deportivo Saprissa showcased an impressive display of synergy and goal-getting in the first half, as seen in the timing of their goals. Deportivo Saprissa's first goal came at the 10:19 mark, with the second one following shortly at 21:28. These consistent performances at the early stages of the match enabled them to establish a sturdy lead of 2-0. However, AD San Carlos clawed their way back into the match scoring their only goal at 56:13, in the second half, steadying the boat at 2-1.

Looking at the disciplinary actions, it's evident that AD San Carlos faced the brunt of it with a total of 3 yellow cards, one of which was in the first half and two in the second half, in comparison to Deportivo Saprissa’s 2 yellow cards, both of which were issued in the second half. The disciplinary actions didn't rest at yellow cards for AD San Carlos as they were also handed a red. The higher number of cautions for AD San Carlos altered their game plan and had a significant effect on the match dynamics, especially when they received the red card, as they had to function with a player less.

The corner kick ratio was equally competitive, with Deportivo Saprissa making 6 attempts, and AD San Carlos making slightly more with 7 attempts. However, the slight corner kick dominance did not translate into goals for AD San Carlos, once again emphasizing Deportivo Saprissa's effective defensive structure.

In conclusion, the scoring efficiency of Deportivo Saprissa during the first half, together with their stern defense against AD San Carlos's corner kick advantages, were key in asserting their dominance. On the other hand, AD San Carlos was certainly marred by the higher number of disciplinary actions against them. Their being one man down post receiving the red card, definitely handicapped their chances of a comeback, making these factors the defining elements of the match.
