In the Liga 1 match that took place on 21 January 2023 at 11:30 EEST, Borneo FC Samarinda hosted PS Barito Putera at home. The match was a competitive and concentrated game, despite it resulting in a 0-0 draw, with neither team able to find the back of the net.

Borneo FC Samarinda's noteworthy performance was highlighted by their domination in corner kicks, as they executed 7, in comparison to 1 by their opponents, PS Barito Putera. This difference is indicative of the pressure that Borneo FC applied on the PS Barito defense through delivering these set pieces. Sadly, they were unable to convert these opportunities into the valuable goals.

One of the pivotal factors that became significant in the game was the total number of yellow cards assigned. PS Barito Putera accumulated a total of 3 yellow cards throughout the match, one in the first half at the 38-minute mark and two more in the second half, at the 90th and 94th minutes respectively. The higher rate of card incidents in PS Barito shows the team’s aggressive approach, potentially affecting their smooth play, and giving technical advantages to the home team.

Despite PS Barito Putera's defensive effort, they weren't able to capitalize offensively, which is visible from the lack of goals. This ultimately affected the rhythm of their gameplay and put them in a vulnerable position, however, it also shows their stringent defense, as they managed to fend off the Borneo FC Samarinda's attacks.

Although the home team Borneo FC Samarinda avoided any disciplinary sanctions during the match, missing goals show a lack of finishing touch in the final third, despite creating set-piece opportunities.

In conclusion, despite a high amount of corner kicks for Borneo FC Samarinda and 3 yellow cards for PS Barito Putera, neither team was able to break the deadlock and convert their efforts into goals. This game provides a clear example of the fact that creating opportunities and maintaining a clean disciplinary record are not always synonymous with winning the game. Both the teams will have to reflect on their offensive strategies in future matches while also finding ways to decrease card incidents.
