In an intensely competitive Serie A clash on 22nd of June 2023, SC Internacional pulled off a narrow 1-0 victory over the home team, Coritiba.

Looking at the team performances, it's clear that Internacional overcame not only the opponent but their own discipline issues as well. Despite receiving four yellow cards, three of which were handed out in the first half, Internacional managed to keep their focus and defended their goal effectively throughout the match.

The intense disciplinary action seems to have worked in Internacional's favor, as the team's down-to-earth approach enabled them to absorb the pressure and achieve an all-important goal in the second half. It's also worth noting that despite receiving fewer yellow cards (2), both of Coritiba's were awarded in the second half, when the frustration amassed over the protracted goalless stalemate may have possibly led to a lack of composure in their ranks.

Interestingly, Coritiba had the superior hand in terms of corner kicks, enjoying 10 over Internacional's 5. This statistic suggests that Coritiba was more proactive and on the attacking front, constantly threatening Internacional’s defense. However, their inability to convert these advantages into an actual goal accentuates the away team's effective defense and solid goalkeeping.

The game was quite aggressive, given the number of fouls committed by both teams. Coritiba committed 25 fouls to the visitor's 19. This emphasizes the high stakes and tough nature of the match. However, it is perhaps a testament to both team's resilience that the match never boiled over to a stage where red cards were issued.

In the grand scheme of things, it appears that Internacional had the most significant factor in their favor: efficiency. Despite being under more pressure and receiving more disciplinary action, Internacional made the most of their opportunities when it counted the most. Their single successful goal in the second half is a testament to this fact.

Meanwhile, Coritiba might have to work on their effectiveness within the opponent's box despite having more corner kicks, as they failed to convert any into a goal. The home team's discipline in the latter half of the game, which yielded more cautions, may have also affected their overall performance and is something which they could look to work on in the future.

This 1-0 clash was nothing less than a battle of strategy, discipline, and effectiveness, which saw SC Internacional emerge victorious despite the odds and discipline setbacks.
