The Serie A clash was a closely contested 90 minutes worth of football, as EC Bahia, managed to edge past Botafogo RJ with a hard-fought 1-0 win on the 05th of May, 2024.

EC Bahia's performance on the defense might have been the determining factor, conceding significantly fewer shots on target (2) as compared to the number of shots they took (3), which was largely instrumental in their win. Bahia's goalkeeper also made a noteworthy contribution with 2 crucial saves.

Botafogo RJ, although more active with their corner kicks, indeed struggled to make their attempts count, landing only 2 shots on target from total 6 shots and forcing only 3 saves from Bahia's goalkeeper. The lack of assists clearly reflected in Botafogo RJ’s performance, hindering their ability to convert attacking opportunities into goals.

The discipilinary record of both the teams was exemplary with no yellow or red cards shown during the match, showcasing a match majorly void of heated events or intense confrontations that usually lead to cards being shown.

EC Bahia showed efficient use of their limited shots, given their single assist led to the deciding goal of the match. They also managed to show measured offense provoking only 2 fouls from their opponents. Despite less attacking opportunities in terms of corner kicks, Bahia managed to maintain their lead and secure the win.

Substitution strategy employed by both the teams differed, with Botafogo RJ making one more substitution than EC Bahia. However, it didn’t influence the game’s result significantly.

On the offsides front, EC Bahia was caught offside once which could indicate a more aggressive approach in their attacking play, stretching the opposition defence.

In the final analysis, EC Bahia's victory was largely due to their solid defense, efficient use of fewer shots on target, and their ability to convert an assist into the decisive goal, reflecting their precision in selecting scoring opportunities. On the contrary, Botafogo RJ was less effective in their forward play, with a lack of assists and precision in their shots on goal.
