In what turned out to be a thrilling contest in Liga Nacional on the 27th August 2023, CD Marathon squared off against CD Victoria, and the match resulted in a 1-1 draw.

Scoring initiated by the away team, CD Victoria, only 49 minutes and 38 seconds into the second half. However, relentless and undeterred, CD Marathon responded just three minutes later, around the 52nd minute, levelling the score at 1-1, which held until the final whistle.

CD Marathon's offensive tactics were evident in their 12 corner kick attempts, which is four times as much as the three attempts made by CD Victoria. It's notable that this significant difference in attacking endeavours didn't translate into more goals for CD Marathon, suggesting a robust defensive structure from CD Victoria, or potentially the inability of CD Marathon to convert on these attempts.

Possession-wise, the away side did face more pressure, reflected in the number of yellow cards incurring on them. CD Victoria received a total of three yellow cards, two during the second half and one in the first half. In contrast, CD Marathon was only cautioned once in the first half.

In terms of discipline, the teams were closely matched in committing fouls with CD Victoria committing 12 and CD Marathon committing 11. This close number sequence presents a nearly equal level of aggression and disruptiveness in their style of play.

Despite the intensity of the match, commendably, both sides successfully managed to avoid seeing any player sent off with a red card.

Furthermore, the home side, CD Marathon, had three offsides signalled against them, while CD Victoria was caught offside twice. These transgressions highlight attempts made at breaking through defensive lines, balancing their direct play and risk-taking with offsides' expense.

In summary, the match was a tightly contested event, with both teams showing their grit and determination. While CD Marathon held a substantial advantage in corner kicks, they couldn't capitalise on these offensive opportunities. Meanwhile, CD Victoria’s defensive solidity played a crucial role in their ability to snatch a draw. The discipline stats further highlight the rigorously stretched, yet restrained nature of the game, with each team fighting tirelessly for dominance, albeit within the game's rules. Overall, both sides demonstrated strong performance, akin to their reputation in Liga Nacional.
