This Copa Sudamericana match between CA Penarol and America MG showed an interesting display of strategy and resilience, marked by a significant number of yellow cards and corner kicks, and ended with a 2-1 victory for America MG.

The first goal came relatively early in the first half by the home team, CA Penarol, setting the tone for the rest of the match. However, the real story of the first half seems to lie in the number of yellow cards issued. The home team and away team both registered high yellow card counts (four by Penarol and three by America MG) indicating an intensely physical game. Such consistent infringements from both sides could potentially have disrupted the flow of the match.

As for the corner kicks, there was a glaring difference between the two teams, with America MG taking nine compared to Penarol's two. This indicates that America MG team was aggressive in offensive terms, forcing the home team to clear the ball to the corners repeatedly. Although corner kicks do not always translate to goals directly, they do imply pressure and offer goal-scoring opportunities. This superiority in corner kicks possibly suggests greater offensive dominance by the away team throughout the match.

Moving forward to the second half, despite Penarol first half lead, America MG turned things around, scoring two goals within a span of 10 minutes. This display of resilience and will-power from America MG might have come from the wake of their increased ball possession and pressure implied by the high count of corner kicks.

Two crucial parameters influencing the match outcome were the high number of corner kicks awarded to the away team, and their ability to limit the total number of fouls they commit compared to the home team. Although America MG committed eleven fouls, they managed to keep it less than the home team, at seven. Fouls break the flow of the game and give free-kick opportunities to the opponent; hence teams with fewer fouls usually maintain better control over the match tempo.

In conclusion, America MG’s high corner kick count and fewer fouls played a crucial role in ensuring their victory over CA Penarol, despite having more yellow cards. Their strategy of maintaining control and applying consistent pressure seems to have paid off in this fixture.
