In the last fixture of La Liga played on 30 March 2024 20:00 EEST, Barcelona edged out UD Las Palmas 1-0 in what can be best described as a tightly contested affair. The only thing that separated the two sides was a well-taken goal from Barcelona in the second half, just before the 59th-minute mark.

Looking at the data, it's clear that the two teams were quite evenly matched when it comes to fouls. Both sides committed 6 fouls each, which indicates a hard-fought battle in the midfield. However, Barcelona's disciplined approach was discernible from their corner kicks. They earned a total of 5 corner kicks compared to Las Palmas' single corner. This shows Barcelona's ability to pressurise Las Palmas' defense and keep them on the back foot.

However, three yellow cards were shown to Barcelona after the 50th minute, right around the time they scored the decisive goal. This could hint at a possible change in the strategy to a more defensive one, post the goal, hence inviting more fouls.

Despite Barcelona being caught offside more often than Las Palmas (6 offsides against Las Palmas' 2), they displayed their superiority in a disciplined attack and managed to net the crucial goal. On the contrary, Las Palmas' discipline strayed a bit, evident by their late red card.

In conclusion, Barcelona's tactical superiority, patience, and better ball utilization are what won them the game, despite a flurry of yellow cards post their goal. They pressed their opponents high, won more corners, and managed to break the deadlock. Las Palmas, however, couldn't make the most of their six fouls and two offsides, ultimately suffering a red card that further dampened their chances. The ability to remain strategically disciplined, even when playing defensively after a crucial goal, matters in tightly contested fixtures, as this game has adeptly demonstrated.
