The Liga Nacional encounter on 5th April 2023 between the Achuapa and CSD Comunicaciones resulted in a 2-0 victory for the visitors Comunicaciones. Both teams presented a solid performance, however Comunicaciones managed to harness their chances into tangible results.

Comunicaciones showcased an exceptional offensive strategy, scoring their two goals within the first 20 minutes of the game. The first goal came in as early as the 12th minute and was soon followed by the second in the 19th minute clearly indicating their offensive prowess early in the game. Their dominance can further be illustrated by their sole offside in the game, indicative of their aggression but also their discipline in respecting Achuapa's defensive line.

However, it is worth noting that Achuapa did not fall back entirely, which is reflected in nine corner kicks they earned during the match, somewhat higher than seven earned by Comunicaciones. These statistics suggest Achuapa were able to consistently penetrate the opposition's box but were met with a sturdy and resilient defence, eventually being unable to convert these opportunities into actual goals.

The disciplinary aspect of the game was evenly distributed as the tension increased evidently in the second half of the match. Both teams received two yellow cards each, with most of them coming in the second half. The first card for the away team was issued at the 46th minute, highlighting perhaps a more aggressive strategy adopted in the second half in order to maintain their lead. Simultaneously, the home team’s first yellow card at the 57th minute suggests an increased intensity from their side to bridge the gap in scores.

The foul count for both sides was also neck-to-neck, with Achuapa committing six and Comunicaciones one more at seven. None resulted in any red cards, indicating both teams' balanced aggression and the disciplined play despite the high stakes and intensifying pressure of the match.

Substitutions were not logged in the provided data set, but it can be surmised from the given data that the deciding factors in this match were the early aggressive play by Comunicaciones, which secured them the lead early on, and their well-maintained defensive line that effectively held off Achuapa’s attempts at goal - as evidenced by Achuapa's higher corner kicks and lower foul count yet no goals scored. This match serves as a prime example of how efficient utilization of opportunities paired with a balanced defensive strategy, can steer the game in favour of a team.
