In an exhilarating Serie A match delivered in the early hours of 7th December 2023, CR Vasco da Gama hoisted the winning flag with a 2-1 victory at home, against RB Bragantino. It was a match defined by key moments and an intense second half.

CR Vasco da Gama struck first, finding the back of the net at the 00:28:34 into the first half, lending them an early lead. However, RB Bragantino leveled the score in the second half at 01:02:35, but Vasco da Gama refused to let this deter their fighting spirit and managed to secure another goal later in the half at 01:21:41.

A look at the stats unveiled an interesting fact, that Bragantino committed a total of 14 fouls compared to Vasco da Gama's seven fouls. The roughness of Bragantino's game was further emphasized by the fact that they received a red card, which significantly tipped the scales in favor of Vasco da Gama, thus decreasing Bragantino's chances of scoring another goal and possibly winning the match. Vasco da Gama wasn't completely off the hook, however, as they received two yellow cards, one in each half, reflecting their own intense play during the match.

But Bragantino wasn't just committing fouls: they ended up earning more corner kicks than Vasco da Gama (3 vs 2), which could have been attributed to Vasco's staunch defence, but unfortunately for Bragantino, they couldn't capitalize on these opportunities to increase their scoreline.

In terms of goals, Vasco da Gama showed better precision with their shots while Bragantino was more on the defensive, trying to keep Vasco at bay especially after being down by one player, a direct result of the red card. The final score line ended favoring Vasco da Gama, but without a doubt, the statistics reveal that this match was far from being a walk in the park for either team.

In summary, Vasco da Gama's win can be largely attributed to better goal execution and taking advantage of Bragantino's disciplinary issues. Despite the relatively equal opportunities for both teams, Vasco clearly made more of their moments, reflecting their superior tactical execution during the match. On the other hand, Bragantino, despite their fight, were likely hampered by their more aggressive and less disciplined approach which eventually cost them the match.
