In the 2023 Copa Sudamericana, home team LDU Quito delivered a compelling performance against CD Magallanes, securing a definitive 4-0 victory. Stats would reveal that the home team's overall offensive effectiveness proved to be the deciding factor in this contest.

A significant chunk of LDU Quito's goal-scoring came in the second half with all 4 goals scored during this period. The fact that these goals were successfully converted in swift succession (00:52:21 and 00:54:23), demonstrates the momentary lapse in the away team's defence, which LDU Quito exploited. Subsequent goals at 01:25:42 and 01:28:14 highlighted their dominance, ensuring the balance of power in the game leaned heavily towards them.

On the discplinary front, both teams had earned a sizeable amount of yellow cards with LDU Quito bagging 3 and CD Magallanes receiving 2. While fouls committed by CD Magallanes were higher (13) compared to LDU Quito's tally of 9, which further impacted their defensive organisation. Arguably, the game changer was the 2 red cards that CD Magallanes received, which significantly hampered their ability to stage a comeback.

Corner kicks are often regarded as a representation of a team's attacking momentum. LDU Quito led here too, with 6 corner kicks compared to CD Magallanes' total of 2. This indicated consistent pressure applied by the home team on CD Magallanes' defence.

While offsides generally suggest a team's aggressive attacking strategy, it can also indicate lack of coordination in the forward line. LDU Quito had 2 offsides versus none from CD Magallanes, possibly a result of their continuous attempts to breach the opponent’s defence.

In conclusion, LDU Quito's style and pace of play demonstrated superior attacking prowess and discipline, contributing to their victory. In contrast, CD Magallanes' defensive lapses and indiscipline proved costly. This game serves as a solid lesson for teams underlining the need to balance aggression with tactical discipline.
