In a goalless encounter on 21st January 2024 at the Segunda Federacion, between the home team UD Logrones and the away team UD Barbastro, a handful of key statistical factors stood out in an otherwise evenly-matched game, where discipline and missed opportunities may have had a significant influence on the outcome of the match.

In the overall tempo of the game, it was evident that UD Logrones sought to maintain dominance over the course of the match. This was evidenced by the disparity in corner kicks between the two sides; Logrones registered a total of five corners, a relatively high concession compared to Barbastro's solitary corner kick. This observation stood out as a clear indicator of the attacking intention and the pressure exerted on Barbastro's backline.

However, it was in the disciplinary department that both teams were found wanting. The match was fraught with fouls - Logrones committing 5 and Barbastro conceding slightly higher with a total of 7 fouls. The reckless tackling escalated to a total of five yellow cards shared between the teams. Logrones were the bigger culprits, receiving a total of three yellow cards, notably more than Barbastro's two.

The troublesome part of this diplomatic dilemma came in the timing of the yellow cards. The two teams were neck and neck until the second half began, with the first yellow cards for both the teams being issued almost at the same time (01:10:42 for Barbastro and 01:10:40 for Logrones). This is striking as it could be interpreted as a loss of focus or an increased level of aggression from both sides at the beginning of the second half. However, Barbastro seemed to learn their lesson quickly as the subsequent yellow card for them arrived much later at 01:26:49, almost 16 minutes after Logrones received their second yellow card. This relative cool-headedness did not transfer to Logrones, however, as they racked up a third yellow card not long after, a potentially decisive element to their failure to score.

This game exhibited a statistical level of discipline and control issues, most notably from UD Logrones, and a higher than average aggression, with a total of 12 fouls committed between the sides. The failure to convert the corner opportunities by UD Logrones, despite their increased attacking intention, might also be a reflection of their inadequacy in capitalizing on set-piece opportunities and highlights a potential area needing improvement.

The game, on the face of it, may seem to be a relatively quiet 0-0 draw, but the statistics point to an engaging and tightly fought contest that could have swung either way but was perhaps ultimately influenced by lack of discipline from both the teams and Logrones' failure to capitalize on their opportunities.
