In the recent Segunda Division stalemate between Eibar and Leganes that took place on January 28, 2023, neither side was able to find the breakthrough despite a hard-fought and tension-filled encounter. The match ended in a 0-0 draw; however, a lot of behind-the-scenes stats paint a much vivid picture of the game's narrative and possibly provide insight into why the encounter turned out as the low-scoring affair that it was.

Early in the game, the intensity was already high, as indicated by the first yellow card handed to the away team only 19 minutes into the game. But Eibar was right beside them with their first yellow card is shown just two minutes after. The teams finished the first half with not one or two, but a whopping 5 yellow cards shared between them. Such an overall aggressive style of play could imply why both teams failed to not only score but also create compelling opportunities.

As for the opportunity creation, it appears that Eibar were edging out Leganes slightly having achieved 6 corner kicks, two more than their opponents. While corner kicks are not necessarily a direct measure of scoring chances, it does tend to suggest that Eibar had more possession in the attacking third of the pitch. However, without a goal to show for it, it could be indicative of Eibar's inability to effectively utilize their set-piece opportunities.

Delving deeper into the disciplinary aspect, Eibar was cautioned four times for unsporting behavior while Leganes was disciplined 3 times. This gives spectators an impression of a match that was highly contested, with both teams showing a high level of physicality. However, it's clear that it was Eibar who lacked discipline slightly more during this meeting.

The offside trap was sprung three times over the course of the game, showing both teams' tactical awareness and strict defensive line. However, it also demonstrates the strikers' lack of timing in breaking the defensive line that led to a majority of their attacks being stifled. Eibar was caught offside once, and Leganes was caught twice.

Both Eibar and Leganes concluded their match with a remarkably similar foul count - 9 and 10 fouls respectively. Despite having a higher foul count, Leganes did well to not let their guard down in defense and perhaps should be credited for maintaining a clean sheet despite their slightly more aggressive approach.

Overall, the statistics point towards an aggressive and highly-contested match which saw both teams having their moments. However, the lack of discipline from both sides, exemplified by the 7 yellow cards and double-digit fouls, could be argued to have prevented either team from finding the rhythm necessary to clinch the game. Both teams will need to reflect on this and add more finesse to their aggressive style to have a chance at clinching the next encounter.
