In the exciting round of the Campeonato Brasileiro A2 - Women, on 23 June 2024, EC Bahia (Wom) hosted Sao Jose EC (Wom) where the visitors clinched a 2 -1 victory. Though EC Bahia led in terms of corner kicks, Sao Jose EC clearly dominated the goal count, which bears stronger influence on a match's outcome.

Sao Jose EC started aggressively, scoring their first goal at the 13:14-minute mark and doubled the lead at the 30:26-minute mark, exhibiting a stronger attacking prowess right from the first half. Although EC Bahia put in a valiant effort, in spite of being two goals down, and managed a solitary goal at the 1:36:26 mark in the second half, they failed to stage a complete comeback.

The behaviour of both teams was fair, an evidenced by yellow cards shown, with both EC Bahia and Sao Jose EC receiving two yellow cards each. It is important to note, however, that both of EC Bahia’s yellow cards were shown in critical periods of the match – one just before Sao Jose EC’s second goal and another prior to their sole goal, which could possibly have influenced their defensive and offensive formations respectively.

Remarkably, EC Bahia had a whopping 11 corner kicks to Sao Jose EC's 2. This indicates a high degree of offensive pressure from their end but clearly emphasizes a lack of conversion of these opportunities into critical goals. Furthermore, the fact that there were no offsides called against EC Bahia suggests they were rather conservative on the break or highly disciplined in their forward play.

Alternatively, despite Sao Jose EC having six offsides, which might suggest a more forward-leaning or aggressive offensive play, their performance in taking advantage of their lower number of corner opportunities yielded a higher success factor.

All these factors in unison speak to Sao Jose EC's superior implementation of both attacking and defending strategies and their effectiveness in seizing opportunities when they presented themselves. While EC Bahia made commendable efforts to press their opposition, their lack of conversion and timing of cautionary cards visibly impacted the match's final outcome.
