In a tense Campeonato Paranaense 1st Division match-up on January 14, 2023, FC Cascavel emerged victorious with a narrow 1-0 win over FC Independente Sao Joseense.

With only one goal netted during the entire match, one might assume a rather equal field performance from both sides. However, the numbers tell a different story. FC Cascavel proved to be a disciplined team throughout the match, as demonstrated by their low tally of one yellow card compared to Independente Sao Joseense's three, occurring at 31.38 minutes into the first half for Cascavel and at 31.52, 48.45 in the first half, and 1:22:27 into the second half for Independente Sao Joseense.

This difference in disciplinary scenarios potentially disrupted Independente Sao Joseense's rhythm and provided opportunities for FC Cascavel to capitalize. Yet, with the only goal netted 1:21:04 in the second half, FC Cascavel didn't make the most of those scenarios until quite late in the game.

From a strategic aspect, Independente Sao Joseense demonstrated aggressive offense with seven corner kicks earned throughout the game, suggesting strong attacking tactics and higher possession in the opponent's half. However, those attempts and strategies didn't materialize into goals, pointing to a possible deficiency in the final third, or superior defensive play and goalkeeping from the home team.

On the contrary, FC Cascavel had only three corners indicating lesser penetration but greater efficiency, as evidenced by their win. Their strategy appeared to lean more towards a defensive or controlled approach, helping keep their goal intact while seizing their chances when they came along.

No red cards were issued throughout the match, suggesting a relatively clean game despite the relatively high count of yellow cards.

In conclusion, the crucial factors that significantly impacted the outcome boil down to discipline and efficiency. FC Cascavel demonstrated superior control over their behavior on the field, accruing fewer fouls and thus fewer disruptions to their gameplay. Additionally,their efficiency in capitalizing on fewer offensive opportunities was integral to securing their win. Independente Sao Joseense will need to reevaluate their attacking strategies, discipline and goal conversion approaches, as these aspects appeared to let them down in this match.
