The thrilling Serie A football match between Independiente del Valle and CD El Nacional Quito on 17 June 2023 saw an exciting and closely contested battle. Based on the match statistics and analysis, there are several key factors that significantly impacted the final result.

El Nacional Quito emerged victorious in the away game, scoring 4 goals against Independiente del Valle's 3. An intriguing event was Independiente del Valle scoring the first goal of the match just over three minutes into the first half. However, their lead was short-lived as El Nacional Quito managed to equalize in the 27th minute, followed by a goal at the 40th minute, turning the tables before the half time.

After the teams returned for the second half, El Nacional Quito quickly extended their lead in the 47th minute. Even though Independiente del Valle managed to pull two goals back in the second half, the final blow came from El Nacional Quito in the 100th-minute mark, which secured their victory.

However, one striking observation from the match was the amount of discipline-related incidents. The match saw a total of 9 yellow cards, with El Nacional Quito receiving 5 and Independiente del Valle being shown 4, suggesting a lack of discipline on both sides. Interestingly, despite winning the match, El Nacional Quito had received more yellow cards.

Moreover, the match saw an uncharacteristically high number of red cards. Independiente del Valle, sadly, had 3 players sent off while El Nacional Quito had 1 player expelled. This obviously reduced the home team's effectiveness and maneuverability on the pitch, making it increasingly challenging for them, especially when they were chasing the game in the second half.

Looking at the corner kicks, Independiente del Valle led with 6 while El Nacional Quito only had 3. Despite having fewer corner kick opportunities, El Nacional Quito was more efficient in their utilization, converting these opportunities into goals.

In conclusion, while both teams need to work on maintaining discipline during their games, it was El Nacional Quito's offensive efficiency and Independiente del Valle's high number of red cards that played a crucial role in determining the outcome of this very heated match.
