In this match held on February 21st 2024, between CD Mineros de Zacatecas (home) and Cancun FC (away), Cancun FC emerged victorious with a 2-0 win. Although there were no goals from the home team, the match held significance in terms of the strategic approach used by both the teams.

Statistically, it appears that Cancun FC was effective in goal conversion, scoring two goals despite having fewer corner kicks than their opponents. They had only 3 corner kicks compared to 11 from CD Mineros de Zacatecas but managed to score from open play early in both halves. This indicates towards the strong forward play along with tight defense that Cancun FC exhibited during the match.

However, the home team, despite failing to score, exhibited superior ball control as seen by the number of corner kicks they were given. Eleven corner kicks indicate a significant amount of the attacks they mounted though, unfortunately for them, they were unsuccessful in converting them into goals. Additionally, they went offside only once compared to Cancun FC's three offsides, showing discipline in attack but lacking the finish.

The match also had relatively tight discipline with a total of 4 yellow cards but no red cards recorded. The home team, CD Mineros de Zacatecas incurred three yellow cards which can be seen as a sign of aggression and desperation as the match wore on, perhaps prompted by Cancun FC's early goal in the first half. Cancun FC, on the other hand, received only one yellow card, further elucidating their balanced approach of disciplined defense and precise attacking.

The away team's goals were spread out almost evenly, with one goal scored at 45 minutes into the first half and the other in the 51st minute of the second half, highlighting their consistent performance throughout the match. The home team’s second and third yellow cards, occurring in the latter part of the second half, suggests the added pressure and decrease in discipline as the home team sought to make up for their goal deficit.

In conclusion, the match was characterized by the strategic approach taken by Cancun FC, focusing their attention on open play goals rather than depending on set pieces. Despite the home team getting more opportunities from corners and maintaining discipline around offside traps, lack of goal conversions and the yellow card situations eventually affected their game, leading to their loss.
