On the evening of December 10, 2023 LD Alajuelense hosted CS Herediano in a highly intense match of the Primera Division. As we dissect the data, it's clear this was a closely fought battle.

While both teams saw no yellow or red cards, the aggression was evident through the high number of fouls, more specifically from Alajuelense. On the other hand, Herediano showed a more precise and controlled game, committing fewer fouls.

In terms of goals, the data shows that Herediano made the most of their opportunities with 2 goals from 6 shots on target, compared to Alajuelense's 1 goal from 7 shots on target. This indicates that despite Herediano's lower shot count, they were more clinical, utilizing their assistance much better which is evidenced from their higher number of assists.

A particularly interesting element to highlight is the significant count of shots off target by Alajuelense. Their struggle to find accuracy resulted in 9 missed shots, while Herediano managed to keep their errant strikes limited to 4.

The data also reveals Alajuelense's attempt to change the ebb and flow of play using more substitutions than Herediano, utilizing 5 changes over their rivals' 3. But, it appears these tactical changes didn't yield the desired outcome in the match.

Adding a defensive perspective to our analysis, both the home and away teams put up a commendable goalkeeping performance with 5 and 4 saves respectively. These number of saves prevented the scoreline from climbing any higher.

Herediano had a slight advantage in corner kicks, which further emphasizes their offensive prowess and territorial dominance in this match, hinting at their constant pressure on Alajuelense.

The offside statistics balance out evenly on both teams' end with Alajuelense caught 2 times, while Herediano once. This indicates an active high defensive line play from both sides.

In conclusion, despite LD Alajuelense's numerous attempts to find the back of the net and tactical substitutions, CS Herediano came away with the win backed by their clinical finishing and well-coordinated team play as suggested by their assist count.
