The intense battle between CF Tardienta and CD Zirauki in the Copa del Rey held on 12th October 2023 ended with a tight 2-1 victory in favor of the Tardienta side. A game with significant emphasis on defense and control, a detailed analysis of the game's statistics offers insight into the key factors which decided the outcome of the match.

While the team from Tardienta displayed a rather controlled game overall, they were highly efficient when it came to capitalizing on scoring opportunities. CF Tardienta managed to secure their two goals early in the first half with the first at 4:14 and then at 29:28. This assured they established a strong footing in the game.

On the other end, CD Zirauki made their only net shaking contribution at the 36:32 mark who retaliated swiftly after the second goal from Tardienta. The resilience Zirauki showed adds weight to their intent and capabilities.

Analyzing the disciplinary measures taken during the match, CD Zirauki came off worse with a total of 4 yellow cards as opposed to Tardienta's single yellow card, indicating a higher level of aggressiveness on the pitch. Despite this aggressiveness, Zirauki failed to translate it into equivalent scoring opportunities as their goal tally suggests.

Examining further into the match parameters, what stands out is the 11 corner kicks Zirauki were granted as opposed to just 2 for Tardienta. This count was a strong indicator of Zirauki's dominance in terms of possession and territorial advantage. Nevertheless, the low conversion rate from these set-piece scenarios reflects on Zirauki's ineffectiveness in their offensive strategy.

On the aspect of game regulation, CD Zirauki was flagged offside twice suggesting a more forward pressing lineup but also poor timing in attack initiations. On the other hand, CF Tardienta had no offsides indicating a more defensive and cautious approach.

In conclusion, despite CD Zirauki's apparent dominance in aspects like corner kicks and offensive push, they were less efficient both at converting opportunities and maintaining discipline. On the other hand, CF Tardienta, although seemingly on the defensive front, was able to use their few chances to change the scoreline more effectively. This insightful set of data-based statistics indeed tell a tale of efficiency over quantity, giving CF Tardienta the win over CD Zirauki.
