In the International Friendly held on 29th January 2023, the USA hosted Colombia in a goalless draw. Both teams had a solid performance; however, there were no goals on either side.

Colombia got three yellow cards during the first half of the match, one at 3:05, the second at 30:59, and the last at 48:43. The USA received just one yellow card in the second half at 78:72, which shows that Colombia was under pressure, resulting in these disciplinary actions. The USA had better regulation in their conduct as compared to Colombia. Colombia's higher number of fouls, eight compared to USA's four, was probably a contributing factor to the high number of yellow cards they received.

The USA's clean offense led them to have zero offsides, while Colombia was caught offside once. Meaning, the USA was able to maintain their offense without violating the rules, while Colombia was having some difficulty with defense penetration.

When we look at the offensive aspect of the game, we see an interesting paradox. Although the USA had more than twice the corner kicks of Colombia, 5 to 2, they were not able to convert any into a goal. It may indicate the USA generated more attacking pressure, but the lack of goals might suggest effectiveness in the final third was absent or Colombian defensive solidity could have been a significant factor.

Yet, with these statistics, neither team was able to break the deadlock and score a goal. The factor of having no goals in a match with this amount of offensive activity from both sides suggests an impressive performance from both team's goalkeepers or weaknesses in both team's strike forces, keeping in mind that shots on goal and goalkeeper saves data are not provided.

In conclusion, based on the data at hand, the key factors that had the most significant impact on the match outcome were both teams' disciplined defensive performance, Colombian’s frequent fouling, and possible missed opportunities from corners, especially on the USA side. The game ended without any goals for the both teams, a testament to the fact that a solid defense and the inability to convert opportunities into goals can result in a stalemate.
