In a compelling demonstration of dominance, Fortaleza Zipaquira faced off against Real Cartagena on 20 May 2023 in the Primera B competition, shutting out their opponents with a decisive 4-0 game. The home team's solid performance was evident in their stringent control of the ball from the onset, with the first of four goals being scored just over a minute into the match.

Zipaquira maintained a consistent offensive throughout the first half, with their second goal being scored at the 46th minute mark. Real Cartagena strived to turn the tide, but their efforts were thwarted by the home team's relentless attacks. The team discipline saw them committing fewer fouls (2 compared to 6 for Cartagena) and earning only one yellow card, compared to Real Cartagena's two.

Notably, both first-half goals by Zipaquira had a demoralizing effect on Real Cartagena, effectively dictating the tempo and nature of the match. Unable to break through Zipaquira's defenses, the away team failed to deliver any effective counterattacks, contributing to a stagnation that persisted into the second half.

Into the second half, Cartagena's performance did not improve much. A yellow card at the 49th minute mark was another blow to their morale. Fortaleza capitalized on this, scoring their third and fourth goals at 58 and 62 minutes into the second half respectively, asserting their dominance and keeping their opponents constantly on the defensive.

As for corner kicks, both teams had an even distribution of three each correlating to an equal opportunity on set-piece situations. Unfortunately for Cartagena, they weren't able to capitalize on their corner kicks, in contrast to Fortaleza.

In conclusion, Fortaleza's four successful goals can be primarily attributed to their aggressive but coordinated offenses and solid defenses. Fewer fouls show better discipline, indicating better overall teamwork and leading to lesser disruption in their rhythm of play. Contrastingly, Cartagena's increased number of fouls and yellow card count indicates possible lapses in teamwork and discipline, resulting in their inability to retaliate effectively to the home team's dominance.

This match underlines the importance of maintaining consistent aggression in offense, a strong defense, discipline, and seamless teamwork—factors that intrinsically influenced the final match outcome by allowing Fortaleza to keep the upper hand throughout the entire game. Despite the even distribution of corner kicks, the ability to capitalize and convert those opportunities into scoring also defines the fine line between a win and a loss.
