In the Serie A match, FC Libertad faced off against CS Emelec on 5th August 2023 and the score capped at 0-0. This matchup was significant not only for goal scoring opportunities but also for the disciplinary measures taken which had a substantial influence on the flow and outcome of the game.

One of the most notable aspects of the game was the excellent defensive performance of both sides. FC Libertad was particularly strong in this regard, which was evidenced by the fact that they were able to limit CS Emelec to just one corner kick, compared to their own eleven. This statistic renders the dominance of FC Libertad in the territory and their ability to pressure the opponents in their half. It also indicates that Emelec had a reduced number of scoring opportunities as they had only one corner kick and were always under the defensive pressure by FC Libertad.

On the other hand, despite FC Libertad's territorial advantage, the game remained goalless. This making it clear that their attacking play fell short, as they failed to convert their corner kicks and territorials gains into goals. An aspect further highlighted by FC Libertad's single offside foul, suggesting their attack wasn't as potent, or as well coordinated as it needed to be.

Where each side really set themselves apart, was in the disciplinary department. CS Emelec received three yellow cards, one of which turned into a red card, indicating an aggressive playstyle, and a lack of discipline which could have disrupted their flow of play and overall match strategy. FC Libertad, on the other hand, maintained an exceptionally clean disciplinary record, no yellow or red cards, thus asserting controlled aggression throughout the match.

In essence, FC Libertad failed to capitalize on their territorial advantage and failed to convert the eleven corners into goals. While CS Emelec missed the opportunity due to lack of discipline on the field leading to fewer players on the pitch. This resulted in a stalemate, with no goals being scored by either team. Although this outcome might have disappointed the spectators looking for goals, it was a testament to the defensive solidity and tactical discipline (particularly FC Libertad), that two top-tier teams brought to the field.
