This Campeonato Paulista A1 match on the 24th of February 2024 between EC Santo Andre and AA Internacional de Limeira was a tense, tactical event that ended in a goalless draw.

From the action display, it could be gleaned that the home team, EC Santo Andre, had a relatively clean performance with no yellow cards issued during the match, whereas AA Internacional de Limeira had a bit of disciplinary issues with two yellow cards received in the latter stages of the first half.

Both teams showed similarity when it came to exploiting set-play opportunities, each--home and away team--only being able to perform 1 corner kick, suggesting that the match was mostly played within the midfield. Remarkably, EC Santo Andre achieved a single offside call, an incisive sign of their attempts to break the defensive lines of their opponents that unfortunately did not result in a goal.

Analyzing the fouls-statistic side of the match, one can see a stark difference between the two teams. Internacional de Limeira committed more than double the fouls recorded by Santo Andre, nine to four, respectively. This discrepancy indicates that Limeira had to resort to more robust defending tactics, perhaps indicative of Santo Andre’s potential pressure and domination.

Although no substitutions were made, an aspect offering further insight into how the managers were satisfied with their team’s performance or maintaining a tactical approach, the most significant impact in the game was the discipline and less-aggressiveness by the home team. They managed to keep their play clean, which did put less pressure on their defense as they did not have to deal with potential suspensions from accumulating yellow cards.

Yet, the lack of goals from either side implies both teams might have prioritized a defensive approach over an aggressive attacking strategy. The final 0-0 scoreline accurately reflects the general lack of goal-scoring opportunities from either team and arguably demonstrates evenly matched these two teams were. It is a game that both teams will learn from moving forward, as they continue to navigate the intricacies of the Campeonato Paulista A1 competition.
