In the Southeast Asian Games on the 2nd of May 2023, Myanmar U22 showcased an impressive tactical performance against Timor-Leste U22, resulting in a 1-0 victory for Myanmar U22. Although the margin was narrow, it was a game dictated by Myanmar defensively, effectively neutralizing Timor-Leste's attacking threats.

The home team managed to score one goal in the second half at the 72nd minute, holding onto a clean sheet till the final whistle. In a match often determined by the smallest of margins, Myanmar U22 capitalised on their crucial half-chance, setting them up for victory. However, it's worth noting that this was the only goal despite a lack of quality attacking opportunities from both sides as shown by a total of five corner kicks, only one of which belonged to Myanmar and four to Timor-Leste U22.

Disciplinary issues presented a significant setback for the Timor-Leste U22 side, with two yellow cards conceded, one at the 51st minute and the second at the 94th minute, both in the second half. These disruptions may have affected the fluidity of Timor-Leste's gameplay, unsteadying their team dynamic at crucial moments in the game possibly leading to their downfall.

A total of 13 fouls were committed by both teams throughout the match, with Myanmar U22 responsible for 8 and Timor-Leste U22 for 5. Again, Myanmar's aggressive gameplay possibly provided them some strategic advantage by disrupting Timor-Leste's rhythm.

From a possession and territory perspective, the four corner kicks won by Timor-Leste U22 compared to just one for Myanmar U22 might suggest that Timor-Leste had more attacking intent or was pushing forward more frequently. However, their failure to convert these corners into goals likely contributed to the final scoreline.

In conclusion and based on the data provided, a single goal in the second half, efficient defensive tactics of Myanmar along with some disciplinary issues for Timor-Leste U22 were the defining factors in this match. Football, being the unpredictable game it is, saw Myanmar U22 leading the match despite having less apparent attacking opportunities. For Timor-Leste U22, the chattings show a need for a significantly better discipline and conversion of opportunities into goals.
