In the high adrenaline match of Liga MX on 6th November 2023, Santos Laguna emerged victorious against Deportivo Toluca by a margin of 3-1. This came on the back of a prolific performance by the home team who delivered on both halves of the game, scoring their first goal as early as 35 minutes into the first half.

Santos Laguna took advantage of their home ground, scoring twice in quick succession in the second half. Their goals took place at the 59th and a mere three minutes later at the 62nd minute, thereby pushing their lead to 3-0. However, Deportivo Toluca did manage to salvage one goal later in the second half, at the 92nd minute, pushing the final score to 3-1.

A point of interest was the unusually high number of corner kicks by the away team Deportivo Toluca – 11 in total. Despite this, they were unable to convert these opportunities into goals, which speaks to the imprecise finishing by the strikers and perhaps the strong defensive performance by Santos Laguna. On the other hand, the home team executed 4 corner kicks throughout the match.

The game also revealed the aggressive match play by both teams. Six yellow cards were awarded in total, demonstrating the intensity of the confrontations. Two were shown in the first half, and four in the second. Notably, the yellow cards were evenly split, with each team receiving three. Despite the intense physical play, no red cards were issued, which allowed both teams to hold onto their full squads for the entire match.

Offsides are often a telltale sign of offensive aggression. Here too, Toluca led with 2 calls against them, compared to Laguna's solitary one. This could suggest a more attacking style by Toluca, that however yielded little success against a well-disciplined Laguna defense.

To conclude, despite the valiant effort by Deportivo Toluca reflected by their numerous corner kicks and offensive plays, Santos Laguna's early momentum with goal scoring and consistent performance on both halves delivered them a victory. The match also clearly displayed the tough and aggressive performance from both sides - but it was ultimately Santos Laguna who made the most of their opportunities, and claimed the victory.
