In the Southeast Asian Games on 10 May 2023, the under 22 Myanmar National team achieved a narrow, yet significant 1-0 victory over the under 22 Philippines National team. This match, characterized by its tactical nature and rigorous defensive positioning, was jointly stark in its showcase of discipline and overall strategy.

The defining and only goal of the match was netted by Myanmar U22 during the second half at the 55th minute mark; the deciding goal that confirmed victory for Myanmar. Despite this, the match was not entirely fleet-footed or forward dominated, rather it was marked by a high number of yellow cards. The Philippines U22 team, in an unfortunate revelation, was handed four yellow cards, all of them in the second half, suggesting a strong level of aggression, or given the context, probably frustration. Time stamps for these yellow cards indicate they all occurred after the goal was scored by Myanmar. This might point to a defensive breakdown or a change in Philippines' game plan that didn’t pay off.

In contrast, Myanmar U22s received a single yellow card in the first half and exhibited more disciplined play throughout. However, they also had a red card marked against them. This didn't noticeably impact their performance though, as they proceeded with one less player but maintained defensive solidity despite the numerical disadvantage.

In terms of corner kicks, Myanmar U22 edged out with four against three by the Philippines U22, demonstrating similar attacking initiative. Moreover, Myanmar only committed a single foul throughout the match, indicating their tactical discipline, clean play, and probably adherence to a premeditated coach masterplan.

In conclusion, while the match was closely contested, Myanmar U22's approach towards disciplined play, their more successful utilization of corner kicks, the early goal in the second half combined with the Philippines' increased aggression after conceding a goal, significantly factored into the Myanmar's victory. Persistent aggression by the Philippines could be seen in the number of yellow cards they earned - an undesirable record that potentially disrupted their teamwork and performance, leading to their defeat.
