In this remarkably well-played and balanced match in the Liga Nacional, we saw the CSD Municipal display a brilliant show of football against their rivals, the Xelaju MC. There were several statistical reasons that led to the discourse of the match and the ultimate 2-0 victory of the away team that we will explore.

For a start, CSD Municipal's goals were significantly timely, with the first goal occurring in the 22nd minute of the first half, giving them an early advantage. This not only bolstered their defense but put a significant psychological pressure on the Xelaju MC side. The second goal, struck just as the second half began insured the away team had a cushion, further reigniting their already strong performance.

Moreover, there was an almost even distribution of Yellow cards, with both teams receiving 4 each. However, the timings of these cards could have played a substantial role in the match outcome. Xelaju MC got their second yellow card in the 52nd minute of the second half. This could have possibly disrupted their flow of play and their ability to bounce back, especially with them already being 2 goals down.

In terms of Corner kicks, the home side had a slight edge with 4 corner kicks versus the 3 by the CSD Municipal. However, the away team managed their defensive line better and stifled any potential threats from these set-pieces.

One crucial factor was the incredible resilience of CSD Municipal's defensive that acted as the backbone for their victory. They allowed only one offside to the home team, showing their strict control over the pitch. While the home team also allowed only one offside, considering they conceded two goals, it indicates their defensive line wasn't as strong.

Overall, CSD Municipal played a better strategic game. They positioned their players to capitalize on counter-attacks and did brilliant on-point defending, warding off their more aggressive opponents.

In conclusion, the game's momentum was set by the early goal from CSD Municipal, which was well-backed by their pitch-controlling defense. Even though the yellow cards and corner kicks were evenly distributed, the timely goals and defensive discipline of the CSD Municipal affected the outcome massively. Hence, the better teamwork and performance of the away team overshadowed the home team's efforts, ultimately leading to their win.
