Coverage:

In a genuinely competitive display seen at the Central American and Caribbean Games - Women, Centro Caribe Sports (Wom) and Costa Rica (Wom) took each other head-on, with the home side edging out a narrow 2-1 victory.

Centro Caribe Sports demonstrated great efficiency in the final third.

They scored their first goal in the 26th minute, setting the fast pace and tenor of the match. The score went up to 2-0 in the 56th minute of the second half. The efficient attack of the home side is evident from the fact that they managed two goals despite having less corner kicks (3) as compared to Costa Rica (5). However, their susceptibility to offside traps is another story. They were caught Offside three times compared to Costa Rica's zero, which indicates a visible lack of timing in their forward runs.

As far as disciplinary actions were concerned, Centro Caribe Sports found themselves on the receiving end more often with four Yellow Cards and one Red Card compared to Costa Rica's single Yellow Card. These bookings could significantly affect their gameplay in future matches due to suspensions, particularly the dismissal that occurred in the match.

Costa Rica, however, demonstrated a lack of discipline throughout the course of the game. They committed a staggering 31 fouls compared to the home side's 12, a factor that could have measurably affected their match rhythm and overall control. Their only goal came at the 76th minute when they were already trailing by two goals, demonstrating a negative approach to the game.

Despite the significant number of fouls, Costa Rica retained strong defensive discipline with the home team drawing three offsides, suggesting their efficient use of the offside trap whereas the home team failed to draw a single offside.

In conclusion, the most significant factors affecting the match outcome were Costa Rica's high foul count, disrupting their flow of play, and Centro Caribe Sports ability to exploit their limited scoring opportunities. Despite a lack of discipline, as shown through numerous yellow cards and an expulsion, Centro Caribe Sports were more efficient, scoring two goals, highlighting the importance of taking chances in such competitive games.
