In the game held on 6th October 2023 between Sulut United FC and Persipura Jayapura in the Liga 2 championship, both teams showed a strong defensive play, leaving the match at a standstill with a 0-0 result. It was a game in which neither side could capitalize on their opportunities, especially in terms of offence.

Statistically, both Sulut United FC and Persipura Jayapura were evenly matched in several aspects of the match. Notably, the opportunity to capitalize on set pieces was equal for both sides, with each taking 7 corner kicks with no yield on the scoreboard.

Fouls were almost minimal, Sulut United FC recorded 2 fouls while Persipura Jayapura recorded 5. Although minimal, these fouls interestingly shifted the momentum of the match at times and gave both teams free-kick opportunities which failed to change the scoreline.

However, one of the intriguing features of this match was the discipline of the teams. The home team, Sulut United FC was issued two yellow cards while the away team, Persipura Jayapura received a significantly higher number of yellow cards, a total of 6. This spiked in the second half where Persipura Jayapura was awarded three yellow cards in quick succession within the 79th minute, reflecting their intense aggression in gameplay during the latter part of the match.

Unsurprisingly, in spite of the high number of yellow cards, there was no subsequent escalation leading to red cards. Both the teams maintained full squads on the pitch throughout the 90+ minutes.

There were almost negligible offside infringements with only one recorded against Persipura Jayapura. This shows a high level of positional discipline from both front lines and the absence of any proactive play, hence, neglecting the opportunity of exploiting the space behind the defences.

All in all, the match saw a strong defensive discipline met with a shortage of lethal strike force from both sides. The high number of yellow cards issued particularly to Persipura Jayapura proved a decisive factor in their gameplay strategy that strived more towards ball retainment and refraining from any risky forward play. Consequently, the inability of both teams to capitalize on free-kicks and corner kicks predominantly influenced the goalless outcome of the match. Therefore, while it was technically a draw, the stats suggest Persipura Jayapura had subtly dominated, yet unsuccessfully in terms of netting the goal.
