In the match between LDU Quito and CSD Defensa y Justicia in the Copa Sudamericana, the defining factors for the 2-1 victory of LDU Quito were the number of shots on target and effective use of corner kicks.

Combining shots on target and goalkeeper saves, LDU Quito was able to apply consistent pressure on Defensa y Justicia's defense throughout the match. From a total of five shots on target by LDU Quito, two resulted in goals with the remaining three shots being saved by the Defensa y Justicia goalkeeper.

On the other side, Defensa y Justicia had a total of two shots on target, yielding a single goal. Their attacking capabilities were constrained by the solid defense of LDU Quito, evidenced by the home team's nine fouls. While reasonably disciplined with no yellow or red cards shown, this indicates a robust and aggressive defensive strategy.

It comes as no surprise that LDU Quito dominated the corner kicks with four, ultimately giving them additional opportunities to penetrate through the opponent's defense. In contrast, Defensa y Justicia only had one corner kick, restricting their potential goal-scoring opportunities.

Despite resorting to three substitutions - one more than LDU Quito - Defensa y Justicia was unable to change their fortunes. The continuity of most of the LDU Quito players may have played a significant role in their cohesion and ultimately the win.

In terms of offside, both teams were relatively disciplined, with LDU Quito being called offside twice and Defensa y Justicia once.

All these stats suggest that LDU Quito mastered the balance of aggression and discipline while capitalizing on their scoring opportunities when they arose. If Defensa y Justicia can work on translating their shots into on-target attempts, resulting in goals, their future matches may yield different results. For the betting audience, this is a crucial insight into the teams' current form and performance levels, which can significantly impact the prediction accuracy.
