The engaging encounter between Sao Paulo FC and Santos SP held on the evening of the 14th of February 2024 was a display of intense football with the home team edging out their opponents with a marginal victory of 2-1. This outcome was a culmination of strategic approaches, tactic applications, and purposeful displays from both sides. However, a more in-depth look into the match statistics reveals critical insights that framed this result.

Sao Paulo FC built their victory on a more tactical efficiency and offensive approach, getting 7 shots on target more than Santos SP's 4. This was a key differentiator for the match, ensuring that the Sao Paulo FC attack pressured Santos SP's defense and kept them busy. Their better shot accuracy is reflected in the fact that only 3 shots went off target compared to Santos SP's 5.

In the scoring department, Sao Paulo FC outdid Santos SP, hitting the back of the net twice. One of the essential defensive stats falls in the home team's favor as well, particularly the fact that Sao Paulo's goalkeeper executed 3 essential saves that denied Santos SP from scoring more than once.

Though the away team managed to stretch the home team's defenses a bit more with 3 offsides registered over Sao Paulo FC's 2, it did not translate to more goals. Their greater number of substitutions, 3 over the home team's 2, may also indicate attempts at altering their strategy or energy level to shift the match dynamics, but these did not yield a better result.

The aggressiveness of the match was also quite evenly matched with Sao Paulo FC registering just two more fouls than Santos SP's 9. Despite no red or yellow cards awarded to either team, this highlights a hard-fought battle as each team attempted to dominate possession and control the pace of the match.

Ultimately, the home team's significant upper hand in goal attempts, precision, and goalkeeper saves proved instrumental to Sao Paulo FC's victory.
