Playing on their home turf on 27th September 2023, Club Cerro Porteno dominated with an impressive 2-0 victory over Sportivo Ameliano in a Cup competition match. The home team demonstrated superior offensive and defensive tactics leading to their win.

Both teams maintained disciplined performances, as evidenced by zero red and yellow cards distributed throughout the match. However, Cerro Porteno demonstrated superior control in terms of shots on goal. Out of a total of 10 shots, 6 were on target, leading to their 2 goals, all assisted. Despite Ameliano's goalkeeper making more saves (4) than Cerro's, it was not enough to fend off the home team's offensive prowess.

Cerro Porteno’s commanding performance extended beyond just shots on target. It was evident from the 6 corners they had in comparison to the 2 corners from Ameliano; this data point demonstrates the home team's aggressive tactics and pressure they consistently applied on the away team.

The number of fouls committed by both teams was nearly equal, suggesting a similar magnitude of aggression in their gameplay. Cerro, however, showed slightly more fouls (8), indicating a high level of aggression and pressing, bearing fruit as they managed to keep the ball more in the opponent's half and hence create more goal-scoring opportunities.

Change in strategies and tactics were observed, with Cerro making 3 substitutions compared to Ameliano’s 2, possibly to maintain the tempo and the pressing game which finally paid dividends.

Interestingly enough, offsides were at a premium, suggesting that game awareness was a priority for both teams. Even though Ameliano created more offsides (2) than Cerro (1), it did not translate into significant opportunities.

In summary, Cerro Porteno's superior attacking and defensive strategies, especially their effective utilisation of corner kicks and maintained pressure, were key contributors to the victorious outcome. The efficient shot on target ratio and the consistent offensive pressure highlighted their dominance over Sportivo Ameliano, thereby differentiating the two vastly different performances of the night. Consequently, they made a significant showing in this Cup competition match.
