In what proved to be a highly entertaining match in the Campeonato Brasileiro A1 Women's division on 26 June 2023, the clash between Corinthians SP and Cruzeiro EC ended in favor of the home team with a scoreline of 4-2. Let's delve into the data that characterizes the teams' performance.

Right from the start, Corinthians took the momentum by scoring the first two goals, both in the first half with emphatic finishing at the 12th and 23rd minute respectively. However, Cruzeiro managed to pull one back approximately 32 minutes into the game, leveraging their ability to persevere.

As the second half began, Corinthians pushed on again, finding the back of the net just five minutes into the half. Cruzeiro, however, displayed resilience by answering with a goal at the 59th minute mark. But Corinthians’ final goal at the 64th minute sealed the game despite a spirited fight from Cruzeiro.

Examining the yellow card situation, it’s clear that Corinthians’ victory came at a cost. The home team received three yellow cards, which implies that they had quite an aggressive game. Two of these cards were even designated in the second half within a span of three minutes, which could have turned the tide had Cruzeiro managed to exploit this momentary imbalance.

Corinthians also led in corner kicks, obtaining 2 against Cruzeiro’s 1. However, guests outperformed the home team in the offsides count: while they managed to trick the Corinthians’ defensive line four times, Corinthians were caught offside twice.

Despite the home team's multiple yellow cards and offsides, Corinthians ultimately demonstrated remarkable efficiency by converting half of their goals from relatively few chances. Conversely, Cruzeiro struggled to parry the aggressive attack launched by their competitors.

Overall, the fundamental aspects of this match revolved around the early advantage established by Corinthians, accompanied with their efficiency in converting chances, and their resilient defence despite the yellow cards and offsides. For Cruzeiro, on the other hand, their shortfalls can be observed in the inability to maximize their offside attempts to goals, which ultimately defined the game's outcome.

While Cruzeiro were more successful in luring their opponents offside, they themselves were unable to recover from the early blows dealt by Corinthians. Going forward, both teams would likely need to work on discipline to reduce their card count and offsides which can prove costly in future matches.
