This past match between Petro Atletico de Luanda and TP Mazembe was packed with suspense and a dramatic turn of events in the second half of the game, resulting in an eventual 2-1 victory for the TP Mazembe. Let's take a deeper dive into it.

Mazembe started the match on the backfoot; Petro Atletico broke through in the first half, netting a goal in the 29th minute. The home team sustained the lead through the first half and even until 76th minute of the match. However, a sudden turnaround in the second half saw TP Mazembe scoring 2 goals in the last 24 minutes of the game, changing the dynamics, and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

The home team's only goal came early on, which would normally pressurize the opposition. However, it's apparent that Petro Atletico could not maintain this advantage for the entirety of the match, which might point towards an issues within the team's cohesion or strategy in the second half.

Discipline wise, TP Mazembe received two yellow cards, outnumbering Petro Atletico's single card. Both the cards for Mazembe came in the second half, indicating a heightened aggression in their play during the latter part of the game. This more aggressive gameplay might have contributed to their comeback, by pressuring Petro Atletico. The home team also got a single yellow card at 59th minute, also in the second half, suggesting a relatively clean first half in terms of bookings.

In terms of corner kicks, the teams were evenly matched with 4 each which indicates similar levels of offensive pressure exerted by both teams throughout the match. However, this similar statistic also shows that Mazembe's come-from-behind victory was due to better conversion rather than more opportunities.

Interestingly, the only offside call of the match was on Petro Atletico, indicating that the home team may have been more aggressive and pressured in their attacking, which did not pay off in the end.

In conclusion, the data suggests that while Petro Atletico started strong, the more aggressive gameplay and better execution by TP Mazembe, allowed them to come from behind and clinch a victory that seemed highly improbable at halftime. The ability to maintain composure, absorb pressure and come back strongly in the second half appear to be key factors that propelled TP Mazembe to an impressive win.
