In what turned out to be a thrilling encounter between the home team Cienciano del Cusco and the visitors Sporting Cristal, both teams were able to secure 2 goals apiece in a game, hence sharing the spoils at the end of the match that was held on 10th February 2024.

In the early phase of the match, Sporting Cristal got off the blocks quickly, netting their first goal in the 9th minute. The away team had taken the upper hand, but the home side showed resilience and equalised by the 30th minute. However, not taking their foot off the pedal, Cienciano del Cusco took advantage and went ahead by the 22nd minute, turning the tide in their favour at halftime.

Interestingly, the match saw an evenly fought match in terms of corner kicks and offsides, with the home team only slightly edging out the competition with 4 corner kicks compared to 3 for the away team. Both teams had 1 offside apiece.

One significant factor which ultimately played a role in the final outcome was the number of yellow cards that the away team conceded, which was a whopping 5, in comparison to just 2 by Cienciano del Cusco. Three out of these five cards for Sporting Cristal came towards the last 15 minutes of the game, which could have played a role in their defense splitting and allowing an equaliser in the 77th minute of the game.

Despite an aggressive game by both teams, the referees kept the situation under control with no red cards being handed out.

All in all, an evenly contested match saw both teams walk away with a point each, leaving much for the football bettors to ponder. The aggressive, yet disciplined defense of Cienciano del Cusco, and the aggressive, yet undisciplined approach of Sporting Cristal were major contributing factors to the final result of an engaging 2-2 draw.

The key takeaway for football bettors is the potential impact of yellow cards and the timing of those cards. The significant number and timing of yellow cards for Sporting Cristal perhaps signify lapses in discipline could play a larger role in determining the outcome of the matches in Liga 1 competition.
