In the intense showdown of the Copa Libertadores held on April 4th 2023, Alianza Lima hosted CA Paranaense in a goalless stalemate. Both the teams ended with 0 goals; however, the game was far from uneventful but it's the discipline that caused the most impact on the fixture.

CA Paranaense seemed to struggle with discipline, accumulating five yellow cards, with the first three being drawn in the first half at 16th, 27th and 28th minutes. This series of bookings may have made Paranaense play more on the defensive side, possibly impacting their chances of scoring. The indiscretions didn't stop there as they received further two yellow cards in the second half at 77th and 87th minutes, ultimately leading to one player being sent off, implying even less attacking ambition.

Alianza Lima, too, had its share of cautions with four yellow cards being shown. Their first two came closer towards the end of the first half with one at the 32nd and another at the 45th minute. This might have affected their aggressiveness slightly entering into the second half where they received two more cards at the 87th and 94th minutes. Alianza Lima also kept the ball mainly within their opponents' half, winning 5 corner kicks as opposed to the away side's 2.

Despite CA Paranaense having one player sent off, they demonstrated effective defending and nullified Aiianza Lima's attacks, leading to zero goals scored by the home side. On the other hand, the away team was flagged offside once, showing a more cautious approach in their attack. It's worth mentioning that Alianza Lima managed to keep a clean disciplinary record in terms of offsides and fouls, a factor that might have bolstered their confidence and control over the game.

In conclusion, the game was evenly matched in many respects. However, CA Paranaense's disciplinary issues seemed evident, as they accrued more cautions and conceded more corner kicks. These factors possibly hindered them from capitalizing on their plays and scoring. Similarly, Alianza Lima, despite having a slight upper hand in terms of possession and discipline, couldn't break through CA Paranaense's defence. Hence, the result of no goals from either side can be attributed to the disciplined defensive formation and tactics, albeit somewhat forcefully due to cautions, executed by both the teams.
