In the recent Campeonato Catarinense Serie A faceoff between Figueirense FC and Atletico Catarinense on 14th January 2023, Figueirense edged a narrow 1-0 victory. This win could be attributed to a combination of their superior ball control, discipline, and strategic play.

The solitary goal of the match arrived late into the second half, at 01:16:57, that not only seemed to disrupt Atletico Catarinense's game plan but also meant the away team had very minimal time to strike back.

Analyzing the match statistics, Figueirense showed dominance in terms of corner kicks, with 9 compared to Atletico's 3. These statistics point to Figueirense's territorial advantage and positive offensive aggression. Moreover, they managed to keep their position strong by pressing the game towards the corners, constantly threatening the Atletico defense and thereby, kept the ball in the opponent's half for significant portions of the match.

The home team's discipline was exemplary, earning only 1 yellow card, in contrast to the away team that received 3 yellow cards. It's evident that Figueirense’s ability to maintain a higher discipline level had a substantial role, enabling them to avoid any unnecessary fouls or disruptions to their gameplay, unlike Atletico Catarinense.

The offside count was noticeably higher for the home side as they were caught offside thrice compared to a single time for Atletico. However, this metric demonstrates Figueirense's relentless offensive intent rather than any significant downside, as they were obviously pressing for goals throughout the game.

In conclusion, Figueirense's winning performance was largely due to their aggressive but measured offense, as evidenced by the corner kicks and offside count, paired with a disciplined approach to the game, which minimized unnecessary disruptions such as fouls or yellow cards. Atletico Catarinense, on the other hand, needs to re-evaluate their defensive strategy and discipline to improve their performance in future engagements.
