Looking back on the Segunda Federación encounter between SD Gernika Club and Real Zaragoza Deportivo Aragón from the 4th of February 2024, it's clear that discipline, or rather a lack thereof, played a crucial role in an agitated game that saw the away side step out as the 1-0 victors.

The away team's goal came in the second half, a significant breakthrough for Real Zaragoza as the match went into a deadlock until the 64th minute in spite of a very aggressive play shown by both sides. This goal ultimately determined the outcome of the match, as SD Gernika Club failed to equalize.

Riding on their complete control of the ball, Real Zaragoza used this advantage with the two corner kicks against Gernika’s paltry singular attempt. The home team also constantly found themselves on the wrong side of the referees’ books, with a total of 5 yellow cards and 1 red compared to away team's 4 yellow and 1 red.

The transgressions were not one-sided though. The match data reveals that Gernika Club committed 17 fouls, while the away team made only 9. The home team's streak of indiscipline was reflected in their yellow cards, five of them in total, two of which came in quick succession in the first half. This lack of discipline hindered Gernika's ability to maintain a consistent and controlled offensive front.

On the other hand, while Real Zaragoza had fewer fouls, they weren't immune to discipline issues with four players booked. Their only offside came at a crucial point during the second half, however, it didn't affect the ultimate goal tally.

In conclusion, while both teams struggled with maintaining discipline, the key deciding factor was the away team's goal in the second half. Both teams will need to work on their on-field discipline in future matches, while SD Gernika Club, in particular might have to channel their aggression more toward creating scoring opportunities rather than committing fouls. Despite Real Zaragoza winning this encounter, they too left a lot of room for improvement in terms of staying on the right side of the referee.
