In the toughly contested Primera Division match between CA Fenix Montevideo and CA River Plate Montevideo on 16th March 2024, both teams delivered a solid performance that ended in a goalless draw.

This game was particularly physical as seen from the number of yellow cards dished out during the match. Eight yellow cards were given in total, with River Plate Montevideo receiving more - a total of 5 yellow cards compared to Fenix's 3. This effectively disrupted the flow of the match and particularly River Plate's attacking plays, leading to the absence of goals in the match. Despite the aggressive style of game play, no red cards were produced by the referee during the encounter which gave both sides the chance to play out their full strategies.

Possession issues were evident for both teams throughout the game. CA Fenix Montevideo lost the corner kick battle only making 3 of them, compared to CA River Plate, who managed 5. This indicates that River Plate had more attacking opportunities in Fenix's end, however, they were unable to turn these opportunities into goals due to a considerable defensive play by Fenix.

Another interesting statistic to consider from the game would be the frequency of offsides. Fenix was caught offside twice during the match, one more than River Plate, further suggesting Fenix's struggles to pierce through the River Plate defence.

In conclusion, while both sides have shown their defensive capabilities by keeping clean sheets in the match, the amount of discipline issues, particularly on River Plate's side, hampered a free-flowing attacking game. By doing so, both teams have missed the opportunities brought about by the match to make a significant step in the standings of the Primera Division.

From a bettor's perspective, the defensive nature of this match as well as its physicality and discipline issues should be taken into consideration for future matches of these teams. The struggles of both teams to create scoring opportunities despite having attacking possession also indicate a trend that could be pivotal in future evaluations.
