In the Campeonato Nacional tie that took place on May 21, 2023, FC Guantanamo hosted FC Matanzas in what turned out to be a thrilling encounter. Both teams gave a solid performance, resulting in a 1-1 draw, and each team showed discipline as no yellow or red cards were issued during the game.

FC Guantanamo played a more aggressive game with 12 fouls committed compared to FC Matanzas’s 10. However, the higher foul count didn't translate into more goals. Guantanamo's goalkeeper was kept busy, making a commendable 4 saves in the face of 5 shots on target by Matanzas. This suggests a thriller of a defensive display by Guantanamo, which was further highlighted by their 4 shots on target, out of a total of 6 shots.

FC Matanzas, on the contrary, shot slightly less accurately with 5 on-target shots out of a total of 8. Nevertheless, their offensive strategy was better recognised by the fact that they managed to force Guantanamo's goalkeeper to make more saves, therefore, they were creating more goal-scoring threats.

There were a total of 6 substitutions throughout the game, illustrating both teams' desire to change their tactics and introduce fresh legs to control the rhythm of the match.

One noticeable aspect of the game was the corner kicks, with Guantanamo securing 5 while Matanzas managed 4. These set-pieces, while not directly leading to goals, demonstrated the offensive pressure exerted by both teams, resulting in opportunities to score.

In conclusion, FC Matanzas showcased a more attacking strategy, evident in their higher shots on target, but FC Guantanamo's strong defense and goalkeeping were at par to contain this threat. On the other hand, FC Guantanamo's lack of conversion with less accuracy in their shots hinted at finishing issues up front. This observation points to the importance of shot accuracy, goalkeeping prowess and the ability to capitalise on set-piece opportunities when designing future game strategies in this fiercely competitive league.
