In this tightly contested Primera Division match on June 23rd, 2024, Montevideo Wanderers FC hosted CA River Plate Montevideo, resulting in a 1-0 victory for the visitors.

Although the Wanderers were playing at home, it was River Plate who scored the only goal of the match, coming in the first half at 18 minutes and 22 seconds. It was clear this early goal set the tone for the game.

Neither team was dominant in terms of creating chances from the corner flag, both only managing to win 2 corner kicks each. Thus, no side had the advantage in terms of set-pieces play, suggesting the match was evenly contested in terms of pressing and territorial advantage.

River Plate proved to be more disciplined with only one foul committed compared to Wanderers' three. This low total for both sides indicates a cleanly contested match, with neither team resorting to rough tactics to try and gain an advantage.

Oddly enough, no player from either team was shown a yellow card, a rarity in increasingly physical modern football - a testament, no doubt, to the excellent match control from the referee and disciplined play from both teams. Similarly, both the home team and away team avoided any red cards, demonstrating a fair play spirit and tactic on both sides.

The home team failed to find the back of the net despite their home advantage, which was unfortunate for the fans in attendance and those betting for a Wanderers victory. The early goal by River Plate appears to have dealt a blow to the morale and strategy of the home team.

River Plate's disciplined performance (illustrated by their lower foul count) and their ability to take the lead early in the match were significant factors in securing their victory. The lack of corners for both teams, and thereby a low number of set-piece situations, indicates that River Plate's goal came from open play.

In conclusion, CA River Plate Montevideo's win emphasises the importance of scoring early. For the Wanderers, improving their discipline in order to not concede early goals would be a beneficial strategy. Despite the Wanderers home advantage and higher fouls committed showing more aggression, it was River Plate who performed efficiently in their single goal win. The result once again underlines the unpredictable nature of football and the importance of early lead in the match.
