The Campeonato Sergipano A1 match between Estanciano EC and America SE on 5th March 2023 ended in a draw at 1-1 thereby indicating an evenly matched contest. However, a closer look at the stats provided paints a more nuanced picture.

Regarding goal scoring, both teams found the net once, with Estanciano EC breaking the deadlock shortly into the second half at 53:49 minutes. America SE mustered an equalizer at the dying minutes of the game, at 84:14 minutes. This late goal could be attributed to America SE’s persistence, which is further supported by data showing they scored despite having fewer offside calls (4) than Estanciano EC (6).

While looking at the discipline, Estanciano EC collected three yellow cards, all in the second half and in quick succession, while America SE managed to keep their card count at a single yellow awarded in the first half. This could suggest that the home team struggled with discipline as the match progressed, a factor that could have come into play leading to the late equalizer by America SE.

A comparison of set-pieces reveals that America SE took the advantage with an overwhelming 10 corner kicks as compared to a mere two by Estanciano EC. Nevertheless, the home team’s defense held firm to repel most of these set-piece attacks, although one may argue that this pressure could have contributed to Estanciano EC's late defensive lapse resulting in the America SE's equalizer.

It's worth noting, despite their discipline lapses, Estanciano EC demonstrated a superior offside trapping strategy, which saw America SE caught offside four times, less than the home team's offside call count of six.

Based on the data provided, it could be posited that America SE had the edge in this match, due to their committed attack as evidenced by more corner kicks and the late equalizing goal. On the other hand, Estanciano EC might need to review their discipline and set-piece defending strategy. This was a game where, despite the same number of goals, the game dynamics suggested that America SE seemed to dictate the pace and style of play over the course of 90 minutes.
