In the African Games football match held on 15th March 2024 at 17:00 EEST, Ghana U20 proved superior to Benin U20, securing an all-important 1-0 victory. The only goal of the match came in the first half at 00:33:05, giving Ghana U20 an early advantage which they displayed evident composure to hold down till the final whistle.

Although both sides had an equal number of corner kicks, with each attempting four, it was Ghana U20 that was more impactful with theirs, one of which led directly to the all-important goal of the match. Benin U20 were unable to convert their corner-kick opportunities, reflecting a need for improvement in execution during set pieces.

The offensive consistency was the same for both teams as they were caught offside two times each. This suggests that both teams' offensive lines possessed similar gameplay styles and techniques, although Ghana U20 was the only successful team on the scoreboard.

The game’s aggressive nature was evident from the five yellow cards issued, with Benin U20 picking up three and Ghana U20 two. Intriguingly, both of Benin’s first-half yellow cards came before the solitary goal was scored, implying that these lapses in discipline may have disrupted the team's organization and indirectly impacted their defensive capability. The same, however, was not the case for Ghana U20 as their two yellow cards came in the second half after their decisive lead.

The total number of yellow cards, indicative of the match's relatively aggressive disposition, had impact on the match tempo and focus of both teams. It may have forced both teams to play more conservatively than they might have initially planned in an attempt to avoid further sanctions.

In conclusion, the early goal by Ghana U20 in the first half, along with their focused defense and Benin U20’s lack of discipline were crucial factors that shaped the outcome of the match. Despite similar statistics in corner kicks and offsides for both teams, the utilization of opportunities made the difference in this fiercely contested match.

Remember, however, that while statistics can tell a large part of the story, they are but a part of the whole picture, with the human factor, individual performances, and moments of brilliance or mistakes often being the decisive elements. Betting should therefore always be approached wisely and judiciously.
