In this Segunda Liga match between CD Mafra and CS Maritimo, we saw both teams draw a blank in goals, managing 0-0 at the full-time whistle. The statistics did, however, provide some key factors that likely contributed to this outcome.

On the disciplinary front, CD Mafra received two yellow cards, both in the second half (0:52:02 and 0:58:52). Meanwhile, CS Maritimo clocked in three yellow cards, all in the latter half of the game (1:07:50, 1:12:43, and 1:20:16) which could have hindered their ability to fully push forward and create goal-scoring opportunities, out of fear of escalating to a red card situation.

In terms of set-pieces, both teams were balanced, each with two corner kicks. This puts them on equal footing, but it is clear that neither team could capitalize on these opportunities to make a breakthrough. The number of corners might suggest that neither team exerted firmly enough to create threatening situations.

Offsides, however, slightly tipped in favor of CD Mafra with one compared to CS Maritimo's two, implying that CD Mafra could have been more disciplined in holding their line, while CS Maritimo were caught out pushing forward a bit more aggressively.

Looking at fouls, CS Maritimo slightly outnumbered CD Mafra with three fouls against Mafra's two. While the numbers are close, they suggest a level of impatience or misjudgment in Maritimo's defense that could have been exploited by CD Mafra, or alternatively, could have disrupted Maritimo’s offensive rhythm.

Neither team, however, received any red cards implying that while the game had its disciplined issues, they were not escalating to the point of jeopardizing the teams' odds of winning drastically by going a man down.

In conclusion, the significant factors impacting this match outcome was the high number of yellow cards, particularly for CS Maritimo in the latter half of the game, and the equality in corner kicks which signifies less threatening combative actions. Both team’s defenses appear to have stood their ground, but the offenses couldn’t quite find the finishing touch to secure a victory. Ultimately, both teams will need to review this match meticulously to improve attacking execution in future games.
