In a tightly contested match that finished in a 0-0 draw between Granada and Villarreal, we can note several statistical insights which impacted this goalless result.

From a defensive point of view, both teams performed admirably with neither side conceding a goal. This was reflected in tight play on both ends, with Granada making 3 saves and Villarreal making 2 saves, thus preventing any loss. The foul data with 12 fouls for Granada and 10 for Villarreal further exemplifies the rigorous, no-nonsense display of defenses from both teams.

In terms of attacking effort, it was a rather lackluster performance from both sides. An arguably low number of shots on target (Granada with 2, Villarreal with 3) compared to the total number of attempts (7 from Granada and 7 from Villarreal), shows the deficiency and lack of precision in their attacking play.

Granada dominated in terms of decision making in vital areas, netting seven corner kicks versus Villarreal's five. However, they weren't able to capitalize and convert these chances into goals, which ultimately cost them two additional points. The quantity of offsides by Granada (4) surpassing Villarreal’s (3), indicated a similarly imperfect execution in the final third, which impacted their chance creation.

The number of substitutions was evenly matched, with both sides making three changes. This shows that managers of both sides were trying to bring in fresh legs and perhaps different tactics to break the deadlock, but neither could achieve the target.

It's clear from the stats that this was a tightly matched contest between Granada and Villarreal, but a lack of clinical finishing from both sides led to the goalless outcome. The high number of fouls from both teams and a small number of shots on target shows a game dominated by defensive rather than attacking plays. The failure to effectively utilize set pieces (corners and offsides) further highlights areas that both teams need to work on going forward.
