The Copa do Brasil clash between home team Paysandu PA and away team Fluminense, which took place on 25th April 2023, saw a dominant 3-0 victory for Fluminense. A detailed statistical analysis allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics that ultimately led to such an outcome.

Fluminense took the lead early in the first half at 3 minutes and 7 seconds. It was a shock start that clearly set the tone for the rest of the match. They steadily built on this lead with a second goal scored towards the end of the first half at 43 minutes and 42 seconds. The third nail in the coffin for Paysandu PA was delivered in the second half at 1 hour, 12 minutes, and 36 seconds.

However, goals tell only part of the story. While Paysandu PA had more corner kicks (6 to 2), indicating they may have had more control in Fluminense's half, they were not able to convert those opportunities into actual goals. An essential aspect of the match was also the number of fouls, 4 by Fluminense and 2 by Paysandu PA. Unsurprisingly, the high number of yellow cards awarded to Paysandu PA, a total of 5 compared to just 1 for Fluminense, suggests better disciplinary control by Fluminense.

Interestingly, all the yellow cards awarded to the home team were after their opponents had opened the scoring. This could suggest a level of frustration and lack of composure in response to trailing behind their opponents.

The absence of any red cards, however, indicates that despite the disparity in fouls and yellow cards, neither team crossed the line into behavior warranting a dismissal.

In conclusion, while Paysandu PA had more corner kick opportunities, they failed to capitalize on them. Fluminense managed to dominate the game with disciplined play and decisive scoring early in the game. The quick lead and subsequent additive goals by Fluminense, along with keeping their composure better than Paysandu PA (as evident by the fewer yellow cards), seemed to be the key determining factors that led to their ultimate victory.
