In a remarkable showdown in the Copa do Brasil, tournament, EC Bahia faced off against Gremio FB Porto Alegrense. Statistically they ended up in a 1-1 draw, but the figures reveal quite an interesting story beyond the final score.

As far as offensive prowess goes, goals were hard to come by. It took until the 53rd minute of the second half for EC Bahia to break the deadlock, taking the lead with a solid strike. Notably, in addition to their scored goal, EC Bahia achieved only 3 corner kicks, a lower figure than Gremio FB Porto Alegrense's 5 corners. However, both teams fell into a single offside trap during the game indicating both teams took a cautious approach to forward play.

Gremio FB Porto Alegrense’s equalising goal arrived even later, in the 96th minute of the second half, leaving little time for the match dynamics to evolve further. Gremio FB Porto Alegrense's persistence seems to have paid off, given their higher number of corners racked up throughout the match.

Discipline, however, formed a significant part of the encounter. In particular, EC Bahia's disciplinary record during the match was far from ideal. The team received four yellow cards, all of which were picked up in the second half. In contrast, Gremio FB Porto Alegrense suffered only one yellow card, picked up in the first half. This contrast suggests a higher level of discipline maintained by Gremio's players which, however, didn't translate into a winning position in this match. None of the teams had a player sent off, so the red card count for this match was zero.

To summarise, while both teams showed an equal matching in terms of goal tally and offsides, EC Bahia's lack of discipline and lesser corner kicks versus Gremio FB Porto Alegrense's superior corners yet timely scored goal, contributed significantly to a drawn match. While the final score was even, the data tells us quite a story about the spirited play, including periods of dominating play, cautious attack and lax discipline.
