In the intense Primera Division clash between Cerro Largo FC and Liverpool Montevideo on 31st March 2023, Cerro Largo FC triumphed with a solitary goal, despite Liverpool Montevideo's strong showing particularly in the area of set-piece potential.

Delving into the critical statistical factors that influenced the match outcome, scoring in football is often a game of numbers and quality creation. Cerro Largo FC soared high at the hurdle of opportunity conversion, netting one goal from their offensive ventures. The significant goal came 35 minutes into the second half, making some impact on the rhythm and momentum of the game.

Liverpool Montevideo's two yellow cards, one in each half, and five corner kicks more clearly indicated their active performance. However, their inability to convert these potentially threatening set pieces into goal-scoring opportunities turned this match into a missed opportunity. On the other hand, Cerro Largo FC was able to maintain their defensive poise, evident from the goal line still showing 0 for Liverpool Montevideo.

Interestingly, contrast lies in the teams' discipline level. Cerro Largo FC picked up three yellow cards - two of them quite late in the second half, showing that they were under some pressure towards the end of the match. Both teams committed an equal number of fouls (4), indicating that the match was tightly contested in open play.

Both teams were caught offside twice, which may be evidence of their high defensive lines or even perhaps of an attempt to break each other's defensive setup with deep runs from midfield. Either way, it represents how evenly matched this game was on that tactical front.

Dissecting the dead ball situations; the seven corner kicks for Liverpool Montevideo compared to five for Cerro Largo shows that they had more opportunities from set pieces, but sadly for them, it was not capitalized upon.

In summary, this was a tightly contested match with Cerro Largo FC making the most of their chances. Liverpool Montevideo were left to rue their missed opportunities from set pieces, along with their inability to keep their discipline in check as the game reached its pinnacle. The match ultimately throws light on the timeless essence of football i.e. possession, tactics and discipline are critical, but the most important statistic remains the scoreline.
