From the recent Campeonato Paulista A2 match between Atletico Monte Azul and CA Linense, it is clear that disciplined play and territorial gain played an instrumental role in Atletico Monte Azul's narrow 1-0 victory.

In terms of discipline, both sides picked up an equal number of yellow cards. The home side's three cautions came in the second half, between the 80 and 94th minutes. In contrast, CA Linense had their first warning before the break and received their other two in relatively quick succession, between minutes 65:07 and 66:24 of the second half. However, the lack of sending-offs indicates that, despite the number of bookings, neither team was exceptionally reckless or overly aggressive.

In regards to territorial gain and statistical dominance, Atletico Monte Azul led the charge. With 11 corner kicks compared to CA Linense's meager 2, it seems the home side spent a considerable amount of the match within their opposition's last third. That dominance was converted into a single goal in the 59th minute owing to what might have been a continuous pressure on the away team's defense. Despite only netting once, the volume of corner kicks indicates the home side created more scoring opportunities.

However, Atletico Monte Azul was more disciplined when advancing their lines since they weren't caught offside even once. CA Linense, on the other hand, was flagged offside three times which indicates a lack of coordination within their forward line, or a sign of mounting frustration as the game neared its conclusion.

So, while both teams exhibited comparable levels of discipline, Atletico Monte Azul's territorial dominance, their ability to create more opportunities as evidenced by the high number of corners and not conceding any offside were the decisive factors that tilted the match in their favor. Looking forward, they would need to work on converting opportunities into goals more effectively, whereas CA Linense needs to work on their defensive resilience and ensuring better coordination in attack.
