In the Liga 1 matchup between ADT Tarma and Cienciano del Cusco on February 3, 2024, both teams ended up at a stalemate with 1-1 draw. The striking factor impacting this outcome was the disciplinary discipline, particularly for the away team, and their management of set-pieces.

Cienciano del Cusco scored in the first half at 43:41, taking an early lead. However, their performance was tarnished by an excessive number of yellow cards, a total of 6, with two of them received in the first half, at the 36:40 and 31:49 marks, hence causing a possible disruption in the team's momentum and tactics. The continued lack of discipline in the second half saw an additional four yellow cards, culminating in a detrimental red card, which surely weakened their side considerably.

ADT Tarma, despite being a goal down at the half, showed greater discipline with only two yellow cards, both in the second half, at the 1:11:06 and 1:29:22 marks. They were then able to capitalize near the start of the second half scoring at 1:01:54, to equalize the proceedings.

Interestingly, ADT Tarma's superiority was clear when considering the corner kicks. The home side earned 7 compared to Cienciano del Cusco’s single one. This is an indicator of ADT Tarma’s offensive pressure and their ability to trouble the away team's defense. Also, the home team was incorrectly positioned twice (offsides), showing their eagerness to press forward, while the away team maintained their line throughout the game.

On the other hand, the foul play record was surprisingly low in this intensely contested match, with the away side committing just one and the home team committing none. This could be a testament to the teams' professional conduct on the pitch, despite the many bookings.

In summary, the match was heavily influenced by disciplinary factors, evidenced by an unusually high number of yellow cards for Cienciano del Cusco, eventually leading to a red card. This, coupled with ADT Tarma’s competitive spirit in the second half, visibly changed the balance of the game as they were able to equalize. The match further showcased that dominance in set-pieces like corner kicks can create pressure and provide goal-scoring opportunities, an area in which ADT Tarma excelled. The teams' near-impeccable foul record and continuous adherence to the offside rule further highlights the professional standard of the game, setting a benchmark for future encounters.
