The Campeonato Brasileiro A1 - Women's match between Santos SP and EC Bahia, held on 05 June 2023, presented a fascinating study in offensive efficiency and tactical discipline. The home team, Santos SP, emerged with a 2-1 victory, underlining their strong performance throughout the match.

The first goal scored by Santos SP in the 50th minute of the second half gave them a stronghold. The importance of early goals in football cannot be overstated and given the timing, it was evident that Santos SP carried the momentum and focus from the first half's play, exploiting a lapse in concentration from the EC Bahia defense.

The second goal from Santos SP within the 57th minute of the second half further bolstered their position, enlarging the gap to 2-0. However, EC Bahia managed to claw back a goal at the 86th minute, making the scoreline 2-1, but were unable to equalize during the remaining minutes.

An interesting element of this match was the squandered opportunities from EC Bahia, as evidenced by the lack of offsides compared to Santos SP. Santos SP recorded 2 offsides during the match - an indication that they were looking to exploit the EC Bahia defensive line more aggressively. EC Bahia, on the other hand, failed to record a single offside, suggesting a possible lack of an offensive threat.

The teams were both playing a high-intensity game, as indicated by the number of yellow cards. EC Bahia collected a total of 5 yellow cards during the match, three of which were in the last 15 minutes of the game. This could indicate desperation on EC Bahia’s part,as they tried to get back on equal terms. Meanwhile, Santos SP collected 3 yellow cards, which suggests solid defense and more space to EC Bahia's attackers, resulting in fouls committed to prevent critical plays.

Corner kicks were somewhat skewed in favor of Santos SP, who managed 5 against EC Bahia's 2. This indicates that Santos SP were able to put more pressure on EC Bahia's defense and create more opportunities to score from set pieces.

In conclusion, Santos SP proved triumphant due to their more efficient attacking, better utilization of set pieces, and more aggressive pressing which resulted in offsides. On the other hand, EC Bahia's late effort to claw back the deficit, evident from the number of yellow cards they received towards the end, was not enough to change the outcome of the game. Both teams exhibited high-intensity play, but Santos SP effectively used it to their advantage while EC Bahia appeared to succumb to pressure, especially in the closing stages of the game.
