In the Copa do Brasil match held on 21 February 2024 between CE Operario Varzea Grandense MT and Criciuma EC, the final scoreline reflected a competitive and tightly contested game where CE Operario Varzea Grandense MT emerged victorious with a 3-2 win.

Despite being on level ground in terms of fouls (8 each) and offsides (1 each), CE Operario Varzea Grandense MT stood out remarkably in their offensive approach to the game. With a total of 7 shots on target, compared to Criciuma EC's 4, they clearly used their chances effectively, resulting in 3 goals by the end of the match. This offensive efficiency was further complemented by their successful execution of 2 assists in the game, strengthening their attacking position.

Criciuma EC's defensive strategy, however, put up a commendable performance. Their goalkeeper made 4 saves in contrast to the home team's 2. Despite this, it was insufficient to halt the relentless offensive strategy of CE Operario Varzea Grandense MT.

Even in the sphere of corner kicks, the home team enjoyed the advantage with 4 corner kicks as against the away team's 2. CE Operario Varzea Grandense MT demonstrated superior territorial dominance, getting more opportunities to launch attacks from set-pieces.

However, despite a promising defence, Criciuma EC's shooting accuracy was not as fine-tuned as CE Operario Varzea Grandense MT's. Both teams had 3 shots off target, but Criciuma EC failed to convert most of their on-target shots into goals.

In terms of substitutions, both teams utilised all three allowed changes, reflecting an equal level of strategic adjustments during the course of the game.

In conclusion, the primary driving force behind CE Operario Varzea Grandense MT's victory was their more clinical and efficient offensive strategy. Even though Criciuma EC showed strong defensive efforts, their inability to effectively utilize their goal-scoring opportunities proved costly. This match was a clear demonstration of the age-old saying: "Offense wins games".
