In the International Friendly match on 20th June 2023 between Algeria and Tunisia, the teams exhibited high levels of skill and strategy resulting in a 1-1 draw. While one might argue that a draw indicated evenly matched teams, a closer look at the statistical factors from the game suggests otherwise.

Starting with the goals, the away team Tunisia scored at 13:14 minutes into the first half setting in an aggressive tone of play. However, Algeria responded by scoring an equalizer around the 38th-minute mark, eleven minutes after receiving their first yellow card at 31:16 minutes. This goal was followed by a yellow card to the Tunisian team almost immediately afterward at 38:08 minutes. This suggested a potential interrelation between the pressure to score and the level of discipline maintained by the teams.

In terms of discipline, Algeria had 3 yellow cards, with two of them occurring in the second half and one in the first half. On the other hand, Tunisia received two yellow cards, evenly spread across both halves. Despite the relatively higher number of yellow cards for Algeria, suggesting more aggressive play, this did not translate into more goals. In fact, Tunisia, with fewer yellow cards, held a time lead in the match for about 25 minutes.

Another critical factor was the corner kicks. Tunisia showed remarkable dominance with 7 corner kicks compared to Algeria's single one. However, this positional advantage did not translate into extra goals for Tunisia as they could not capitalize on these set-piece opportunities.

In summary, while Tunisia gained a competitive edge through early scoring and more corner kicks, they were not able to convert these advantages into a win. Meanwhile, Algeria demonstrated resilience by scoring an equalizer under pressure but their imbalance between aggression, indicated by yellow cards, and the effectiveness of their play, with just one corner kick, painted a picture of an opportunity cost.

These factors suggest that though drawn on the scoreboard, Tunisia had the statistical edge in the game. For future games, bettors may want to consider not only the final score but also the more nuanced statistics in terms of playfield advantages and discipline to make informed decisions.
