The Primera B clash between Patriotas FC and Cucuta Deportivo on June 1, 2023, played out to a 2-2 draw, with both sides showcasing robust performances despite Cucuta Deportivo battling with a numerical handicap in the final stages.
Patriotas FC exhibited concretely their efforts on disrupting Cucuta’s game plan, with evident robust tactics that led to 18 fouls and 2 yellow cards. While this was a risky manoeuvre, it proved effective in destabilizing Cucuta's tempo.
Meanwhile, Cucuta Deportivo struggled with discipline, collecting 7 yellow cards and subsequently a red in a match that was clearly combative. The consequence of their disciplinary issues meant they had to finish the game with 10 players, a disadvantage that put them under pressure and inevitably exerted an influence on the result.
Looking at the game from an attacking perspective, it was rather evenly matched. Both the teams were caught offside once, indicating close attention to the defensive line from both squads. However, Patriotas FC used their home advantage wisely, earning 2 corners compared to Cucuta's sole one, allowing the home side an extra opportunity to attack the opponent's goal.
Despite the challenges, both sides found the back of the net twice. Interesting to note that Patriotas’ opening goal was placed in the second half, and it cemented their resolve in the game after a goalless first half.
Conclusively, the most significant factor that impacted the match was Cucuta's lack of discipline, which led to a red card. This numerical deficit hindered their tactical options, putting them under pressure for the rest of the game. On the flip side, Patriotas' relative discipline, while still aggressive, ultimately maintained their team strength on the pitch, offering a significant coin in a draw that could have very easily swayed to a defeat in different circumstances.
