In the Campeonato Brasileiro A2 - Women's match held on 14th May 2023 18:00 EEST, EC Taubate (Wom) faced off against Sao Jose EC (Wom). The match ended in a 1-1 draw but behind these uncomplicated figures, lay a pulsating match full of drama and strategy.

Undoubtedly, the crucial point of this game boiled down to the quick-fire goals in the second half. The away team, Sao Jose EC, drew first blood in the 48th minute. Their initial enthusiasm was quickly doused, however, as EC Taubate retaliated almost immediately in the following minutes to bring the score level at 1-1.

But the tale of this game wasn't merely about the goals; it was the relentless intensity and urgency evidenced in both sides' gameplay. Both EC Taubate and Sao Jose EC showed plenty of attacking intent, with an encouraging number of corner kicks (EC Taubate with 3, Sao Jose EC with 5). Unfortunately, this did not convert into more goals.

The home side, EC Taubate, moreover, seemed to struggle with discipline, accumulating four yellow cards compared to Sao Jose's three, making the match's rhythm quite choppy. With such dueling tempo and high-stakes, this disruption, particularly in the second half, would have significantly influenced the game's flow.

It's worth mentioning the away team's impressive structure and discipline when holding their line, reflected by the fact that they did not concede a single offside call, as opposed to the home team's three offsides.

The critical turning point, however, was the red card handed to the away team. This would inevitably have affected Sao Jose EC's strategy, disrupting their formation, and forcing them to adapt to their numerical disadvantage. Despite these hurdles, Sao Jose managed to hold on for a draw.

Overall, it was a match that was fiercely contested, with neither side able to seize the day. Both teams showed intensity and determination, as evidenced by the high number of corner kicks and yellow cards. Roberto's sending off was undoubtedly the game-changer but credit must be given to Sao Jose EC for holding onto the draw under challenging circumstances. Although both sides demonstrated some admirable attacking play, their accuracy and disciplined execution, particularly in offsides and fouls, would certainly be areas for them to improve in future matches.
