In this tightly contested Liga Nacional match between Achuapa and Xelaju MC on October 15th, 2023, we saw a fine balance between attacking and defensive disciplines from both teams.

Based on the shots on target data (8 for Achuapa and 10 for Xelaju MC), we can see that both teams were quite effective in penetrating the opponent's defenses. Despite this, both defenses were resilient, this is confirmed by the number of keeper saves: 8 by Achuapa and 6 by Xelaju MC. The match thus held suspense and high degrees of competitiveness till the final whistle.

The match was marked by a noticeable level of aggressiveness, particularly from Achuapa which committed 12 fouls – 50% more than Xelaju's 8. However, the absence of any bookings is an indication of fair play and acceptable conduct despite the match pressure.

Analyzing the teams' utilization of set plays, Achuapa had the upper hand with 6 corner kicks compared to only 4 for Xelaju MC. However, Xelaju MC managed to overcome this by higher goal conversion as they scored 2 goals off these 4 corners. This suggests that they were slightly more effective in converting opportunities.

While both teams had the same number of substitution (3 each), Xelaju MC were able to leverage these changes better, as reflected in the final scoreline.

Offside statistics offer a glimpse into the team's tactical approach. Achuapa were called offside twice compared to only one for Xelaju MC, possibly indicating a more aggressive, forward-leaning stance from the home side. However, this strategy didn’t yield much as Achuapa managed to score only one goal against two from Xelaju MC, despite more advances towards the opponent's goal.

Based on this in-depth analysis, it's apparent that the key factors in this match were the effectiveness in front of the goal and maximizing set-play opportunities. Xelaju MC exemplified these aspects which led to their 2-1 victory over Achuapa.
