EC Avenida hosted Esportivo Bento Goncalves in a thrilling Campeonato Gaucho clash that ended 2-1 in favor of the visitors. The match was highly competitive with significant contributions from both teams in terms of shots, set-pieces, and tactical plays.

EC Avenida took an early lead, scoring in the first half, which put pressure on Esportivo Bento Goncalves. Statistically, Avenida dominated in terms of corner kicks, having nine against Esportivo’s four. This indicates Avenida's offensive pressure, particularly through set-pieces. Despite their advantage in corners, Avenida failed to convert these opportunities into goals, highlighting a possibly crucial weakness in their set-piece finishing.

The decisive factor was the contrasting efficiency in front of goal. Esportivo managed to turn the game around with two second-half goals, showing their clinical nature in key moments. While both teams had an equal number of shots on target, Esportivo's higher conversion rate proved instrumental. Their ability to capitalize on fewer opportunities was a critical factor in their victory.

Both teams committed an equal number of offsides, indicating disciplined forward lines on both sides. However, discipline was less apparent in terms of fouls. Esportivo accumulated five yellow cards, suggesting a more aggressive or less disciplined approach. Despite the high foul count, Esportivo's strong defensive organization under significant pressure enabled them to hold on to their lead after turning the game around.

The three yellow cards received by EC Avenida did not heavily impact their gameplay, but the stoppages due to these infractions might have disrupted their rhythm. The wave of substitutions by both teams in the second half aimed to inject fresh legs and perhaps alter the game's pace, but it was Esportivo who benefited more from these changes as reflected in their late winning goal scored at 87 minutes into the match.

In conclusion, while EC Avenida had a more proactive attacking approach evidenced by their higher number of corners, Esportivo’s better finishing and resilience under high pressure were key to their comeback win. The tactical and psychological game management by Esportivo Bento Goncalves eventually tipped the balance in their favor, despite their propensity for fouls and resultant yellow cards.
