The Campeonato Paulista A1 match held on 15 January 2023 between EC Agua Santa (home team) and Associacao Ferroviaria de Esportes (away team) was a riveting contest. However, despite a strong start, EC Agua Santa failed to capitalise on its position, and Associacao Ferroviaria de Esportes surged forward, scoring three goals after the first one from Agua Santa.

In terms of objectives, EC Agua Santa scored only once, early in the second half. This precise attack, unfortunately, did not act as a harbinger of future successes. On the contrary, following this initial advantage, the home team's defence seemed to falter, allowing Associacao Ferroviaria de Esportes to score three goals in a span of under 16 minutes in second half.

The stats provide a candid view of EC Agua Santa's aggression and dominance in terms of ball possession. Evidencing this, the home team attempted aggressive moves towards the opponents' goalpost that resulted in 11 corner kicks as compared to 6 by Associacao Ferroviaria de Esportes. However, the home team's inability to translate these corner kicks into successful goals left them on the back foot.

Behaviour-wise, two red cards inflicted on Agua Santa further demonstrates the team’s struggle during the match. The reduced field strength most likely undermined their defensive solidity, allowing their opponent to score thrice in the second half.

Associacao Ferroviaria de Esportes also had disciplinary issues, receiving two yellow cards in the second half. Even so, it did not deter them from staging a comeback and seizing the win. The team's superb ability to stay onside majority of the time, with just one offside call, indicates the level of synergy and discipline that they exhibited on the field.

Overall, it seems that while EC Agua Santa were initially more aggressive and assertive, that did not necessarily manifest in effective results. On the other hand, Associacao Ferroviaria de Esportes, despite being less assertive in terms of corner kicks or capturing the offside trap, were more focused in their approach, an element that ultimately won them the game. Associacao Ferroviaria de Esportes' tactical focus and assertiveness during the later part of the second half evidently overturned the course of the game significantly.
