In the Ligue 1 match held on 16th October 2023, the Stade d'Abidjan faced Stella Club d’Adjame in a goalless draw that saw vigilant defending but missed opportunities from both teams. The game was devoid of goal scoring impact, but the data suggests that there were plenty of chances created by both teams.

Stade d'Abidjan had a total of 6 corner kicks whereas Stella Club d’Adjame had a staggering 11 corner kicks. In spite of their increased number of corner kicks, Stella Club d’Adjame failed to convert those opportunities into goals. The data suggests the team has a lot to work on with their set-piece strategies.

On the other hand, Stade d'Abidjan, despite having fewer corners, might have suffered from a lack of shooting precision and/or good attacking headers, as no goal was recorded. The teams’ defensive shapes must also be commended for restricting the other team from scoring despite the number of corners.

However, the match was quite heated, a fact evidenced by the handing out of 5 yellow cards in total - 3 to the Stade d'Abidjan and 2 to Stella Club d’Adjame. The card outcomes suggest that the match was highly competitive and challenging. Stade d'Abidjan placing themselves under significant pressure from the discipline standpoint, receiving their first yellow card in the first half at only 46 minutes and 23 seconds mark, and then picking up two more in the second half.

On the flip side, Stella Club d’Adjame kept a cleaner sheet until the 61st minute of play before receiving their first yellow. The teams appear to have prioritized aggressiveness and tight marking but perhaps at the cost of fair play. The discipline data might have also translated to break in flow of gameplay due to the frequent stops.

Overall, the goal drought for both teams can be attributed to their lack of conversion of corner kicks into goals and potentially the disruptive gameplay due to the high number of yellow cards. While the defenders on both sides did an admirable job keeping the clean sheet, an introspection into the offensive strategies is certainly needed. It’s evident from the stats that improvement in discipline on the field and conversion of set-pieces into goals will be key factors in future matches for both Stade d'Abidjan and Stella Club d’Adjame.
