The Red card count remained at zero for the match, a commendable factoid considering the number of fouls and yellow cards committed throughout the 90 minutes.
In conclusion, while the defensive structures of both teams ought to be recognized, their performance in the front left a lot to be desired. Both sides struggled to make the most of their opportunities, and the number of fouls committed by both teams hindered the flow of the match and their goal-scoring chances. Despite the 0-0 scoreline, the statistics reveal a fiery confrontation; a defensive showcase marred by aggressive tactics and a lack of clinical finishing.
