In the Liga 1 match held on 29th September 2023, Alianza Lima disappointingly held FBC Melgar to a goalless stalemate. The match, despite having its moments, couldn't culminate in either side producing a decisive breakthrough to claim the three points.

One might say that the lack of goals was due to robust defence. It certainly could be a case, as the sum total of six yellow cards distributed equally between both teams indicated both sides’ combative approach. The first yellow card was shown to Melgar just half an hour into the game, followed by another four minutes later. Lima picked up a double caution early in the second half, with cards at 00:50:03 and again at 01:04:21 which indicated a more aggressive intent in the half but to no avail. Melgar continued with their toughness when another card came their way at 01:10:40 followed by a final card shown to Lima late in the game at 01:24:25.

The set-piece scenario was dominated by Alianza Lima, who managed to win six corner kicks compared to a mere one from FBC Melgar. However, these opportunities were not converted into goals, implying that Alianza Lima needs to work on their strategies from corners, and capitalize on such chances in the future.

FBC Melgar had to walk the disciplinary tightrope with three yellow cards. They also slipped offside twice, indicating possible eagerness to break through the Alianza Lima defensive line which was well positioned and organised enough not to tricked.

In conclusion, this match was marked by physicalplay, discipline, and a lack of clear cut opportunities. Neither team was able to make the most of their chances, with missed opportunities from corner kicks being a standout for the Alianza Lima side. Meanwhile, Melgar's discipline cost them in terms of yellow cards, but it would appear that they were defensively solid given the lack of offside calls for Alianza Lima. The data suggests both teams put up a stringent defensive performance, hence the end result.
