Looking at the goals scored, ASA AL was quick to show dominance, scoring their first goal within the early 23 minutes of the first half, which no doubt set the tone for the rest of the match. They sealed their advantage with another goal early in the second half at the 48th-minute mark. However, EC Cruzeiro Arapiraca displayed a strong fighting spirit by scoring a goal late in the second half reducing the difference to a single goal but time was not enough for the equalizer.

In terms of set-pieces, ASA AL made 5 corner kicks - a clear indication of their attacking pressure. In contrast, EC Cruzeiro Arapiraca only had 3, displaying lesser threat on the opponent's goal. This factor likely played a significant role in ASA AL's victory.

Additionally, the offside data gives interesting insight into each team's attacking strategy. ASA AL was caught offside twice and EC Cruzeiro Arapiraca three times.

To summarize, the combination of early dominance by ASA AL in terms of scored goals and the persistent attacking pressure, demonstrated by the number of their corner kicks, were key factors in their victory.

Discipline was reputable from both sides with a single yellow card for ASA AL being the only recorded card.

In conclusion, while EC Cruzeiro Arapiraca showed resilience by scoring late in the game and maintaining cleaner disciplinary records, ASA AL's superior attacking pressure and early dominance have been critical in their victory.
