In our coverage of the Liga 1 match between Alianza Lima and Universidad Cesar Vallejo on May 12, 2023, at 01:00 EEST, it was clear that possession, tactical discipline, and effective striking made the difference.

Alianza Lima, the home team, secured a 2-0 win, demonstrating an effective offensive strategy that resulted in their two goals during the second half. The first goal was scored almost exactly at the start of this half - precisely at 00:59:54. The second goal followed at 01:22:21, adding another nail to Universidad Cesar Vallejo's coffin.

The defensive struggles of the away team became evident through the five yellow cards they received during the match. Two of these were given in the first half (at 00:36:13 and 00:43:55) likely impacting their defensive strategy. Their ill-discipline continued in the second half, obtaining three more yellow cards.

Alianza Lima also had a fair share of yellow cards, receiving three mostly towards the later part of the second half. Their first came early (00:48:05) followed by the second and third at 00:55:32 and 01:10:57. Their tactical fouling, albeit risky, seems to have disrupted Universidad Cesar's attacking momentum as indicated by an absence of goals conceded.

Regarding other match metrics, both teams exhibited an aggressive game style, as evidenced by the high number of fouls, 18 by Alianza Lima and 15 by Universidad Cesar Vallejo. This was paired with a good number of corner kicks, five by the home team and three by the visitors. Generally, corner kicks can provide windfall scoring opportunities. Alianza Lima, with a greater number, may have possibly capitalized on these chances.

In conclusion, Alianza Lima's effective striking and arguably tactical fouling strategy were key factors in this victory. Meanwhile, Universidad Cesar Vallejo's inability to maintain discipline, judging from the high number of yellow cards, affected their efficiency negatively. Nonetheless, it was a heated match with Alianza Lima fully capitalizing on their home advantage, reflected in their comfortable win against Universidad Cesar Vallejo.

As we move forward, It would be interesting to monitor how Universidad Cesar Vallejo tweaks its defensive strategies and discipline in response to this defeat and the effectiveness of Alianza Lima's striking strategy in their future games.
