This Segunda Division match on July 2, 2023, between the home team, Miramar Misiones, and the away team, Rampla Juniors FC, ended in a deadlocked 0-0 draw. The match was characterised by an overbearing disciplinary component, and low on goal output, which significantly shaped the contours of the game.

Neither team managed to score as they were defensively resilient, or it could be that both attacking units were lacking the cutting edge in front of goal. Statistically, there was nothing to differentiate between Miramar Misiones and Rampla Juniors FC in terms of corner kicks, each having 3 attempts to create scoring opportunities, indicating a well-matched level of aggression and zone control in both halves. Similarly, both teams were caught in an offside position only once, demonstrating a disciplined offensive strategy from both sides.

However, the real key statistic that stands out is the number of yellow cards received. The sheer increase in cautions from the referees only added to the intensity of the game. Miramar Misiones had 2 yellow cards, both issued in the first half at 4:55 and 30:41, which notably could have put them in a more cautionary stance for the remaining game.

On the other hand, Rampla Juniors FC received a remarkable 5 yellow cards, with two awarded in the first half at 18:01 and 42:33, and the three others in the second half at 48:23, 1:12:06, and marginally near the end of the game at 1:29:03. The rising tension certainly must have forced them to play with restricted aggression, possibly impacting their flow of the game and resulting in a defensive posture that deprived the match of goals.

The teams had equal opportunities to create goal-oriented plays from set-pieces and open play, but it was the effective law-enforcement by the referee and the team's subsequent adherence to a cautious approach that had the most significant impact on the match's outcome. Despite the high number of infractions, no one was sent off, indicating that although disciplinary lines were pushed, they were not crossed, resulting in a stalemate with neither side managing to break down their opponents effectively.

For bettors, the game served as a vibrant reminder of the value of researching and considering over/under markets in cards, as well as remembering that opportunities are not only present in goal-oriented markets but also in behavioural aspects of match-play.
