In this highly competitive Copa do Brasil football fixture on the field between Villa Nova MG and Operario Ferroviario EC, the away team seized the day with a single, successfully converted goal, demonstrating a conversion rate of 20% compared to the home team's scoreless outcome despite both teams making an identical 4 goalkeeper saves each and having had both approximately the same number of shots on target (4 for the home team versus 5 for the away team).

The close competition can be ascertained in part by the game's statistics, as both teams engaged in a similar number of substitutions (3 per team). However, once we examine the accuracy of the shots, we see that Villa Nova MG had a higher number of missed opportunities with 6 shots off target as compared to the 4 of Operario Ferroviario EC, conveying a discernibly lower efficiency.

Another significant aspect was the control of the game. Villa Nova MG secured 4 corner kicks, illustrating their slightly superior possession in the opponent's half - however, this advantage failed to culminate in successful goals. The away team, despite securing one less corner kick, took their opportunities well, as seen in their early goal in the first half.

Still, it wasn't a clean game, with Villa Nova MG committing 12 fouls and Operario Ferroviario EC committing slightly more at 14. Regardless, neither team reached the disciplinary threshold to warrant any bookings, as evidenced by zero yellow and red cards on both sides.

Interestingly, this match lacked offsides from Villa Nova MG, while Operario Ferroviario EC was caught offside once - a fact that might suggest a slightly more cautious approach from the home team.

Considering the overall match facts and figures, the staggering show from Operario Ferroviario EC was a testament to their efficient utilization of opportunities, irrespective of their fewer possessions in the opposition half. Surprisingly, the home team, despite their aggressive approach and more frequent invasions into the opponent's half, failed to hit the net even once, leaving the game scoreline resting at a 1-goal advantage for Operario Ferroviario EC, exhibiting a thrilling episode of the unpredictable game of football.
