La Liga's recent match on 12 August 2023 at San Mames was a spectacle between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid. It was marked by Real Madrid demonstrating their superiority over Bilbao in both the precision of their shots and the cohesive teamwork illustrated by their assists, contributing to their 2-0 victory.

Bilbao's defense had a hard time containing Real Madrid's offensive power. Real Madrid led in both the number of shots on target and the shooting accuracy, with 8 shots on target to Bilbao's solitary shot. Both teams had 3 shots off target, which underscores the dominant performance by Madrid. This conversion ratio was fundamental in securing their win.

The assist metrics also showed the more cohesive team play from Madrid. The two assists from Daniel Carvajal and David Alaba, respectively, in the first half, were both shown to be instrumental in facilitating the two goals scored by Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham. Bilbao, on the other hand, failed to convert their corner kicks (of which they had 7 compared to Madrid's 5) to goals, further cementing Madrid's vigorous defense and goalkeeper performance.

Despite this defensive strength, Real Madrid also did an excellent job minimizing fouls, with only 6 compared to 18 from Bilbao. This factor indicated better discipline from Real Madrid coupled with higher pressure from Bilbao, leading them to commit more fouls.

The home team, Bilbao, maybe have pertinent lessons to learn from their performance in this match. Their high yellow card count (3 to Real's 1), fewer shots on target (1 to Real's 8), and high number of fouls (18 to Real's 6) are areas of concern. While they wrestled for control with a higher number of corner kicks (7 to Real's 5), their conversion rate proved problematic.

Balanced with both teams having equal offsides of 2, the final scoreline boiled down to precision and team collaboration exhibited by Real Madrid.

Overall, Real Madrid 's successful implementation of tactical offense and strong, disciplined defense gave them the advantage over Athletic Bilbao, as evidenced by the statistical factors provided; thus, turning the match in Real's favor.
