In the 2-2 draw between Genesis Huracan and CD Real Sociedad on August 14, 2023, a clash in Liga Nacional saw interesting statistical revelations that underpin the game's final result.

Genesis Huracan began on a high note, taking the lead in the first half at 17 minutes and 52 seconds. Excellent positioning and smart game-play allowed them to seize the opportunity and swiftly put one into the net, setting the active tone of the match. They managed to maintain their advantage through the first half, shrugging off the lone yellow card conceded by the away team at 43 minutes and 50 seconds.

As the second half started, Huracan was still dominant. Extending their lead at 59 minutes and 4 seconds, it looked like an assured victory for the home team. The teams' 'shots on target' data shows a significant difference in both team's offensive efforts. Huracan's increased pressure on Real Sociedad's defence consequentially led to increased corner kicks, with Huracan hitting 3 compared to Real Sociedad's 6.

However, starting from 63 minutes and 12 seconds into the second half, the scales began to tilt. CD Real Sociedad snatched a goal bringing the scoreline to 2-1. This goal seemed to fill them with newfound determination, as just six minutes later, at 69 minutes and 9 seconds, Sociedad leveled the scoreline by shooting home another goal.

Although Real Sociedad showed a commendable spirit to pull the match back to 2-2, it was also apparent that their aggressive approach resulted in more fouls. Real Sociedad racked up to 5 yellow cards in contrast to Huracan's 1, showing their desperate intent to equalize and subsequently defend after securing the equalizer. Intriguingly, despite such aggressiveness, Sociedad managed to maintain a perfect offside record, keeping disciplined in their forward pushes

Although Huracan conceded a lone yellow card in the second half, it came very late after the equalizer (at 94 minutes and 31 seconds). The timing suggests an increased pressure from the away team, thus showing they had learned to deal with Huracan's offensive well into the second half.

Despite a strong start, this game demonstrates how Genesis Huracan's performance waned in the second half, resulting in a revival from Real Sociedad that they just couldn't contain. On the other side, it shows how Real Sociedad's resilience kept them in the game, responding strongly despite being on the back foot for a long time. Their discipline, particularly regarding offsides, is likely what enabled them to move forward effectively and eventually equalize.

In conclusion, the match results underscore the importance of consistent game-play throughout the entirety of the match. Discipline, particularly in forward movements, and the strategic implementation of aggressive plays could be the deciding factor in such tightly contested football matches.
