In the Central American and Caribbean Games, the match on July 7th, 2023, between Mexico U23 and Costa Rica U23 provided intriguing data and statistical factors for football bettors.

Mexico U23 emerged victorious with a score of 2-1. The team scored their first goal at 00:21:20 in the first half and added a second in the second half at 00:53:01. Costa Rica U23 managed to respond with a goal at 01:02:54 in the second half, but the team was only able to reduce the deficit, not tie the match.

Critical to the match's outcome were Mexico's five corner kicks, indicating their greater offensive pressure. Costa Rica mustered just one corner kick throughout the match, reflecting their struggle to sustain attacks and create scoring opportunities. On defensive metrics, the Mexican side proved better on the offside trap as well with zero offsides committed compared to one by their opponents.

The discipline level of the teams is another factor to consider. Both teams did their best to maintain adherence to the rules of the game as shown by the total count of yellow cards recorded. Mexico received two yellow cards, with one issued in each half. Costa Rica, as the away team, were cautioned just once in the first half. No red cards were issued in this match, again indicating fair play from both teams.

The Mexican ULT23 team clearly demonstrated a great blend of coordination, strategy, and execution. They pulled off a majority of chances through corner kicks and managed to maintain a clean sheet in terms of offsides. These factors, combined with an effective defensive line that managed to keep the Costa Rica U23 team at bay for most of the match, significantly influenced Mexico U23's win.

On the other hand, the Costa Rica U23 team seemed less co-ordinated, evidenced by their fewer corner kicks and a violation that led to an offside call. Although the team did manage to get a goal in the second half, being able to sustain the pressure on the Mexican defense might have given them a better chance of drawing or winning the game.

All in all, the Mexico U23 team showed a higher level of performance both defensively and offensively. Their ability to convert their opportunities was certainly ahead of the Costa Rica U23, who will need to address their lack of incisive attacking potential and ability to create more opportunities at the enemy's goal if they are to improve on their performances.
