In a hotly contested Segunda Division matchup on 22nd January 2023 at 15:15 EEST, FC Cartagena played host to CD Tenerife. This was a tactical encounter that caught the fans on the edge of their seats, demonstrating how discipline and effectivity in seize of the moments can sway the game in spite of the statistical dominance of one team.

Let's delve into the statistical narrative of this duel. It is evident that CD Tenerife executed a successful game plan focused on taking advantage of key moments. They managed to score the only goal of the match within the very early 3 minutes and 15 seconds of the first half. Despite having fewer corner kick opportunities, with 3 as compared to FC Cartagena's 6, their swift striker converted the very first opportunity, and this goal turned out to be the difference between the two sides.

Contrarily, FC Cartagena, despite their dominance in terms of corner kicks couldn't make these opportunities count. This disappointing output might be due to their lack of precision in the final third, or the solid Tenerife's defence that did a commendable job in warding off these threats.

One point particularly noteworthy was the effectiveness of the away team's defensive line in deploying the offside trap. FC Cartagena failed to outmaneuver this tactic and surprisingly registered no offsides. On the other hand, Tenerife had 3 offsides, indicating their constant attempts to infiltrate Cartagena's defense.

In terms of discipline, the game statistics paint a story of a tumultuous match. Overall, there were 9 yellow cards issued, with 4 for the home team, and 5 for the away team. The timing of the cards indicates a match fraught with challenges and tensions, right from early in the first half. However, it was CD Tenerife who had the most significant disciplinary disadvantage as they ended the game with a red card due to a second bookable offense in the dying minutes.

In conclusion, despite the evenness in terms of opportunities and intense gameplay indicated by the cards issued, CD Tenerife managed to secure a vital win by being more decisive in front of goal. FC Cartagena, on the other hand, will be left ruing their missed opportunities and inability to penetrate the disciplined Tenerife defense.
