In the Serie A clash on July 8, 2023, Coritiba managed to outperform America MG on the home turf, the final whistle marking a solid 3-1 victory for the home team. Significant elements of the match matrix that undeniably contributed to the final scoreline included goals, yellow cards, and corner kicks.

America MG broke the deadlock early into the match, netting their sole goal of the encounter just under 8 minutes in. However, their early lead proved short-lived as Coritiba injected a decisive surge of momentum into their gameplay nearing the end of the first half, with two back-to-back goals scored at 39:50 and 43:23. Additional insurance arrived in the second half for Coritiba, who struck the last goal of the match at 1:35:31, solidifying their lead to 3-1.

Disciplinary actions certainly had a role to play in the dynamics of the face-off. America MG collected three yellow cards, all in the first half. Coritiba's five yellow cards, however, were distributed over both halves which may have disrupted their rhythm and induced a more cautious play style in the second half to avoid unnecessary red cards, which luckily, did not surface.

However, Coritiba's performance in other factors - their defensive strength for instance - in this match was non-negligible. The low foul count of 6 from Coritiba, compared to America MG's 2, reflects a disciplined defensive technique put in by the home side. This low foul count helped them to retain control over their half.

The corner kick tally was also closely fought, with a marginally higher 8 for America MG and 7 for Coritiba. These set-pieces could have been transformed into more concrete opportunities, however, the difference in corner kicks did not contribute significantly to the scoreline of the match.

In summary, the higher strike rate of Coritiba, coupled with their defensive discipline with regards to personal fouls, was instrumental to their victory even though they were issued more yellow cards. The initial goal from America MG did not deter Coritiba who managed to not only equalize but also take a commanding lead in the first half, setting the stage for their win. Despite winning the corner kick battle, America MG was not able to convert it to their advantage on the scoreline.
