In a tense and closely fought match in the Primera Division - Women, Real Madrid Women edged out Athletic Bilbao Women by 1 goal to nil. This victory was dominated by a statistical narrative that saw real contrasts between the performances of the two teams.

Real Madrid Women showcased efficiency and discipline throughout the game, with their solitary goal proving decisive and sufficient for the win. The decisive goal came in the second half at the 68th-minute mark. This goal was a result of effective teamwork where the players managed to break down Bilbao's defense and score unlike in the first half when they were held in check.

Comparatively, Athletic Bilbao Women put up a vibrant fight but struggled with discipline which potentially cost them the match. Evidenced by their four yellow cards, they drew the attention of the referee quite often. The first yellow card was issued in the first half at the 43rd-minute mark, and three ensuing cards were shown in the second half. This affected their overall rhythm and potentially their strategy, by being down to 10 players if any of these fouls had escalated to a red card.

When it comes to set pieces, despite Athletic Bilbao Women having an edge in corner kicks with a count of 5 to Real Madrid's 4, they did not convert these opportunities into goals. This, coupled with the lack of discipline, contributed to their loss.

The offside game played out interestingly, with Real Madrid Women called offside twice but Athletic Bilbao remaining disciplined in their forward movements with no offside calls against them. It is notable that Real Madrid were more adventurous, pushing the boundaries and looking to get behind the Bilbao's defense.

In conclusion, the match was fundamentally decided by Real Madrid's efficient attack and Athletic Bilbao's indiscipline. The latter’s higher number of corner kicks and the absence of offsides suggests that they had opportunities and space in the opponent's half but was unable to turn these opportunities into goals. Ultimately, the statistics proves that a match is not only about sending players forward or having more opportunities, it's also about capitalizing them, a lesson that Athletic Bilbao Women will have certainly learned from this match.

The result is certainly a testament to Real Madrid’s disciplined style of play and a lesson on the significance of maintaining discipline throughout the game, for Athletic Bilbao. The match proved that even in a tight game, a moment of creative play can sway the result towards the more disciplined and yet effective team.
