In the recent match up between Clube De Regatas Brasil and EC Cruzeiro Arapiraca at the Campeonato Alagoano on the 18th of February 2024, the home team, Clube De Regatas Brasil, bested EC Cruzeiro Arapiraca by 1-0, an outcome largely due to a combination of disciplined defensive effort and effective implementation of their set-piece strategies.

The goal came in the second half at 68:05, a defining moment that validated Regatas' tenacity, which had been evident right from the start of play as they held their grounds, pressing the opponent's end persistently.

A factor that was quite significant is the fact that the home team architected six corner kicks to EC Cruzeiro's three. This demonstrates the home team's higher frequency in creating danger close to the opponent's goal. It's, therefore, fair to assess that Clube De Regatas Brasil had the upper hand in attacking opportunities and they made one of these opportunities count.

On another noteworthy aspect of the game lies in the discipline and tackles. An interesting pattern from the match's statistics pointed towards EC Cruzeiro's lack of composure. EC Cruzeiro Arapiraca received a total of 4 yellow cards, two in each half, as opposed to Regatas' 2 yellow cards, one in each half. This not only put Cruzeiro at a disadvantage in terms of player behaviour but also disrupted their rhythm and possibly their game plan, which further enhanced Clube De Regatas' control of the game.

The offside trap seemed to have been well employed by both teams, given there was only one offside apiece. These limited offsides suggest the strong defensive lines each team operated and their vigilance in maintaining structure at the back.

The definitive line can be drawn that the combination of a solitary, opportunistic goal coupled with a scrupulous defensive play from Clube De Regatas Brasil led to their hard-earned 1-0 victory over EC Cruzeiro Arapiraca in this encounter. While shifting disciplinary measures might be the way forward for the Cruzeiro to prevent future match losses, the Regatas must be lauded for their approach to this match and their composure throughout the game.
