In a closely contested Liga 1 football match, held on August 6, 2023, Alianza Atletico Sullana managed to secure a narrow 2-1 victory over Cienciano del Cusco. Despite a higher number of corner kicks (8 as opposed to Alianza's 3) by Cienciano, they only succeeded in converting one goal. This highlights a less effective offensive strategy from Cienciano's side.

Notably, Alianza scored their first goal within the first half of the game, on the 24-minute mark, establishing an early lead. Cienciano demonstrated perseverance in the second half, levelling the playing field in the 54th minute of the game. Still, Alianza Atletico gathered themselves and took back the lead at the 74th minute, despite receiving two yellow cards in quick succession post their second goal, showing they were able to manage the pressure of their lead.

Statistically, Alianza Atletico Sullana presented a more disciplined side with no red cards compared to Cienciano who had a player sent off. However, Sullana received three yellow cards, indicating a level of aggression in their gameplay. The lack of yellow cards for Cienciano evidently did not translate into controlled possession or a winning result.

The number of corner kicks by Cienciano, which outnumbered Alianza’s by more than double, suggests that Cienciano indeed had control over the game, even at the opponents' half of the pitch, for significant periods. However, the conversion of these opportunities into goals remains an area of concern.

In conclusion, while Cienciano del Cusco had more corner kicks and fewer penalties, they were unable to capitalize on these advantages, indicating a lack of finishing quality or coherent teamwork. Meanwhile, Alianza Atletico Sullana prevailed by maintaining composure under pressure, which was instrumental in earning them a 2-1 victory. Despite getting more yellow cards, the team showed a stable defensive line, proving that prudent aggression can lead to winning results. The event offers a valuable lesson on how the effective execution of opportunities impacts the match's outcome more than pure numerical dominance.
