In the recent Africa Cup of Nations match held on March 28, 2023, between Eswatini and Cape Verde, the away team Cape Verde triumphed over the home team, Eswatini, with a decisive single goal.

Examining this match's stats, it seems clear that the discipline and decision-making skills of the teams greatly impacted the outcome. Eswatini's indiscipline was their downfall in this match as shown by the comprehensive data. The home team received a total of three yellow cards in a time frame of roughly 26 minutes in the second half. This not only left them playing catch up but could have diverted their focus and energy from scoring goals to keeping a clean record, which wasn't the case.

On the contrary, despite getting a yellow card in the second half, Cape Verde maintained their focus, and this resulted in them scoring the only goal in the match barely four minutes before the first yellow card situation for Eswatini.

One striking stat is the number of fouls committed by each team. Eswatini committed double the number of fouls (10) in comparison to Cape Verde's five. This not only infers to Eswatini's poor ball control and discipline but also hints towards their aggression, which might not have been channeled in the right direction.

On the other hand, the corner kicks, a vital aspect to score goals, were almost evenly distributed between both teams – Eswatini had a slight edge with 5, while Cape Verde had 4. But, Cape Verde appeared to handle their opportunities better since they converted such a chance into a crucial goal, focusing on quality rather than quantity.

One can say based on the stats that Eswatini's performance was marred by their high foul and yellow card count which in turn might have affected their game strategy and focus. Meanwhile, Cape Verde optimized their opportunities and held a clear advantage with fewer fouls and a better conversion rate, scoring the match's only goal, despite fewer corner kicks.

In conclusion, the disciplinary factor and optimizing the provided opportunities, can be said to have played a significant role in deciding this match's outcome.
