Fouls Drawn and Commited per Game
River Plate is, by far, the team with the most Fouls Commited and Drawn.
Auckland City commited less than 5 Fouls a Game!
Botafogo commits, per game, Double (2x) the Fouls that they get awarded!

Being in the middle of the season, Boca Juniors and River Plate come out in this competition ready to play. Despite that, and because of their style of play, both of the Argentinian teams are commiting a lot of fouls in the Club World Cup.
In terms of the outliers in this graph, Auckland City is clearly the main one. With a lot less fouls commited than the average, Auckland’s results in the Club World Cup are also on the lower end. On the other hand, Ulsan Hyundai FC are also an outliers but in terms of fouls drawn: the South-Korean team has less than 5 fouls drawn per game, less than half of the average value for this category.
