In what was a high-intensity Liga MX showdown on August 19, 2023, host Puebla FC faltered against Atletico San Luis with a 1-2 scoreline. The away side's proficiency shone through as they were able to maneuver their way through Puebla’s defenses to secure two goals, despite the home team's hard-fought endeavors.

Scoring seemed evenly balanced at first glance as goals erupted in both halves. However, it was the timing and allocation of these goals that appears to have had the most significant influence on the match outcome. Atletico San Luis struck early in the first half at 16:29, catching Puebla FC off guard and throwing them into a chase behind the lead. This initial goal set the tone for San Luis' dominance during the match.

Further capitalizing on their momentum, San Luis notched a second goal at 70:24 in the second half. This deflated the hopes of Puebla FC and, despite clawing one back at 89:56, the home side was unable to recover fully. The late retaliation from Puebla FC was commendable but ultimately came too late in the match to alter the final result significantly.

Set-play distribution was nearly even with Puebla FC earning four corner kicks to Atletico San Luis' five. This indicates a tight contest for ball possession and territorial dominance, which both teams vied for throughout the match. It also suggests that both teams posed a significant threat in the final third of the pitch.

The match also saw a flurry of disciplinary actions. Both sides received two yellow cards each, with the timing of these potentially indicating frustration and heightened aggression as the game progressed. San Luis received two of its cards in quick succession at 66:08 and 66:25 in the second half, while Puebla FC were carded at 66:06 and later at 82:33.

In conclusion, Atletico San Luis managed to seize their opportunities and put them to good use at critical junctures of the match. They demonstrated a more clinical finishing edge, scoring from fewer opportunities compared to Puebla. Although Puebla demonstrated a strong will with their late retaliation goal, their inability to capitalize on essential moments throughout the match saw them come up short. Such trends in scoring, set-piece distribution, and disciplinary actions, accompanied by the timing of these incidents, were telling contributors to this intense Liga MX fixture's final outcome.
