In a competitive La Liga match that took place on the 2nd of October 2023, between UD Las Palmas and Celta de Vigo, a significant battle of statistics and tactics played out. The match ended with Las Palmas preeminent as they secured a 2-1 victory, but that certainly doesn't tell the whole story of the contest.

In terms of goals, UD Las Palmas, playing the role of hosts, operated on a slow burn. Trailing by a deficit of one goal following the opening goal from Vigo at 01:06:23 in the second half, they emerged undeterred from the setback. Displaying vitality and tenacity, they managed to recover and turn the tide of the match. The equalizer came at 01:23:12, importantly not long after Vigo had been handed a yellow card at 01:22:37, perhaps exploiting a period of defensive instability or lack of cohesion in the away side. The winning goal was netted at 01:36:40, past the midway point of the second half, showcasing they can keep up the offensive pressure till the closing stages of the game.

In the discipline department, Las Palmas appeared slightly more volatile with two players booked compared to Celta de Vigo's one, although it didn't obstruct them from their comeback in the second half. The yellow cards were collected later in the second half, with the first at 01:13:24 and the second not long after their winning goal at 01:37:06.

When it came to corner kicks, the numbers were quite tight, Celta de Vigo just edging it with 5, compared to Las Palmas’ 4. These figures indicate a closely contested match in terms of attacking prowess, and widespread offensive efforts. But, it was Las Palmas who were more effective in front of the goal despite winning fewer corners.

As far as fouls are concerned, both teams appeared aggressive, with away team's 14 and home team's 13 fouls, demonstrating that both teams were closely involved in trying to seize control of the game. Furthermore, both teams were caught offside twice during the match, indicating their desire to break through the defense and score.

Overall, the match was an exciting spectacle with both teams being very evenly matched across many metrics, with the final difference being the more efficient conversion of chances by Las Palmas. The resilience of home team to switch the game to their favor after a goal down in the second half was, arguably, the difference between both sides; turning pressure into points. High foul counts on both sides, indicative of the high tension and aggressive defense, could however be a fact to improve upon in upcoming matches.
