In the Women’s Campeonato Brasileiro A1 match on 14 May 2023, Atletico MG (Wom) hosted SC Internacional (Wom). The match ended with a 2-0 victory for SC Internacional. Unlike most games where the scoreline reflects team dominance, this game was unique due to an unusual pattern of play, as indicated by the statistics from the game.

In the course of the match, SC Internacional scored early, with the two goals being scored within the first 20 minutes of play. This seemingly placed SC Internacional in a dominant position right from the start, requiring Atletico MG to play catch-up through the rest of the match. Their early goals indicate their efficient performance in capitalizing on opportunities in the early stages of the game.

However, a clear discrepancy was evidence in the corner-kick statistics. Atletico MG had ten corner kicks against SC Internacional's two, indicating that Atletico MG spent more time in their opposition's third, but unfortunately, they couldn't translate these chances into goals. Their inability to utilize these set-piece opportunities was a significant factor contributing to the outcome of the match.

Yellow card data implies that the match was quite tense, with both teams trying to assert control and maintain an aggressive defense. The risk of playing aggressively, is, of course, that it can lead to disciplinary actions. In this instance, Atletico MG received two yellow cards, and SC Internacional got three. This aggressive play might not be an ideal strategy for SC Internacional to maintain, particularly since their lead was secured in the early parts of the game, and more careful, defensively focused gameplay might serve them better in the future.

Interestingly, the offside statistics reveal that SC Internacional was caught offside six times compared to Atletico MG's two. This significant number of offsides indicates that SC Internacional's aggressive forward attacking line often found themselves ahead of play, a possible result of their attempt to build on their early win. On the other hand, Atletico MG's relatively low offsides suggest they played more conservatively, perhaps in an attempt to solidify their defense after the early setbacks.

In conclusion, while SC Internacional led and won the match by 2-0, largely secured through their early dominance of the first half, Atletico MG demonstrated better control of the field, evidenced by their higher quantity of corner kicks. Defensively, both teams had a fair share of yellow cards. Still, this match provides food for thought about goal-conversion rates from strategic positions such as corner kicks, the efficiency of early goals and the cost-benefit ratio of aggressive play.
