The match held on 01 March 2023, 23:00 EEST in the competition of Campeonato Paulista A2 between AA Portuguesa Santista SP (home team) and EC Noroeste (away team), strongly favored EC Noroeste. The away team won, scoring a total of 4 goals, whereas the home team was unable to hit the back of the net even once, marking a poignant performance by EC Noroeste. EC Noroeste held the reins from the start, their first goal coming early at 2:29 minutes into the first half. Following the first, they consistently scored throughout the match with goals at 46:22, 01:07:59, and 01:18:02 in the second half revealing a strong, efficient offense.

Undoubtedly, the match was aggressively competitive, evidenced by the number of yellow cards given. EC Noroeste got themselves booked five times, while AA Portuguesa Santista SP earned three yellow cards. Interestingly, despite these infringements, no red cards were issued, indicating that while the match was a contentious one, it did not cross over to misconduct warranting dismissals. It's worth noting that more than half of all the yellow cards were issued in the second half, suggesting an escalating intensity of play as the match progressed.

Despite their defeat, AA Portuguesa Santista SP showed exceptional performance with corner kicks. They earned a total of 11 corner kicks compared to just one by EC Noroeste. This substantial difference underscores AA Portuguesa Santista SP's team strategy to attack and apply pressure, albeit not translated into actual scoring.

However, the match data suggests a possible area of improvement for both teams would be offsides, with 1 instance for AA Portuguesa Santista SP and 2 for EC Noroeste, illustrating a need for both sides to work on their timing and communication during forward moves to avoid losing potentially crucial scoring opportunities.

Despite having a higher number of yellows, offsides, and considerably less corner kicks, EC Noroeste exercised far superior efficacy in their forward play, ultimately not just dominating the game, but also assigning AA Portuguesa Santista SP a defeat on their own turf. This game serves as a stark reminder of how execution, rather than opportunities, can tip the scales in football.
