In the international friendly match disputed on 21 June 2023, Bolivia and Chile exhibited a disciplined defense, ending the match with a 0-0 draw.

Despite a fair share of attempts, Chile dominated the field at the corner flag, taking a total of six corner kicks, which is thrice the quantity Bolivia managed. This figure might suggest an aggressive approach from Chile, but they were relatively inefficient in turning these set pieces into direct shots on goal.

On the other hand, Bolivia was more conservative, taking just two corners. However, the efficiency of their attacks was not clearly better than their rival's, as they also failed in putting themselves on the score sheet.

In terms of disciplinary actions, both teams had a few brushes with the referee. Bolivia was cautioned twice, once in each half, while Chile collected a total of three yellow cards, two in the first half and one in the second half. It demonstrates that this game had a fair amount of physical confrontations, if we also consider the 41 total fouls (20 by Bolivia, 21 by Chile).

In terms of offsides, Chile seemed to display a more forward approach in their attacking play, caught offside on four occasions. Against them, Bolivia, who only had one offside ruling, was comparably disciplined in their offensive movements, suggesting a more controlled attacking game plan.

Both Bolivia and Chile were level on goals as both their defenses and goalkeepers did enough to keep the game goalless. The lack of goals might be attributed to the strong defensive play by both sides, as well as the efficient delivery from both goalkeepers.

In conclusion, this was a balanced match seeing both teams failing to break the deadlock despite their contrasting styles of play — Chile being the more aggressive, and Bolivia the more disciplined in attack. A critical factor was the inability of both teams to capitalize on the set-pieces, particularly Chile who had significantly more corner kick opportunities, and to effectively convert their chances into goals. In the end, discipline, a conservative game, and defense stood out on the day as the significant match determinants. It was a game where caution overruled risk, leading to a stalemate result.
