Despite having a robust defense and having control over the ball with 8 corner kicks, Sousa EC was unable to get a goal, resulting in a 0-1 defeat against the Campinense Clube PB in the Campeonato Paraibano on 25 January 2023.

Campinense Clube PB secured an early goal in the first half at 00:44:18, turning the tide in their favor. This early goal undoubtedly played a significant role and applied pressure on Sousa EC for the latter half of the match.

Curiously, the away side, Campinense Clube PB, despite being in the lead from the early part of the game, exhibited an overly aggressive style of play as evidenced by their 4 yellow cards, two in quick succession at 01:10:39 and 01:11:29 in the second half. The fourth was displayed late on in the game at 01:27:37. These bookings may have disrupted their rhythm and introduced an element of risk to their game plan. However, it did not negatively impact their overall result, as they managed to hang onto their slender lead till the final whistle.

In contrast, the home side, Sousa EC, despite being a goal behind, maintained discipline with no yellow cards. They were also more threatening with set-pieces, winning 8 corner kicks in comparison to the 3 of Campinense Clube PB. This indicates that their attacking strategy may have been geared more towards applying consistent pressure on the opponent's goal box. However, this did not translate into an equalizer or any goals, thus highlighting a potential area of improvement – converting set-piece opportunities.

Both teams kept their aggression in check enough to avoid any red cards, allowing them to maintain their full squad throughout the match.

In conclusion, the primary factor that determined the outcome of the match was the early goal scored by Campinense Clube PB. Despite receiving more yellow cards and winning fewer corner kicks than Sousa EC, they managed to hold onto their early lead and secure the victory. The defensive solidity of Campinense Clube PB, combined with the inability of Sousa EC to capitalize on their set-piece opportunities, eventually determined the outcome of the game.
