The Serie A match between Cruzeiro EC and CA Paranaense was an intense affair with both teams showcasing a high level of offensive play, as reflected by statistics. The home team, Cruzeiro EC, snagged a victory with a one-goal margin, winning 4-3 against their rivals.

The attacking prowess of Cruzeiro EC was palpable, with four goals scored from their eight shots on target, which speaks volumes about their finishing abilities. This was complemented by the three assists made, indicating an effective engagement amongst the forwards and midfielders. Paranaense, although they had a slightly less shot-on-target accuracy with seven attempts, managed to convert three of these into goals. However, their number of assists was one less than Cruzeiro, which may suggest they had fewer successful team collaborations in the final third.

On the defensive side, both teams seemed to be on equal footing, as each team's goalkeeper made four saves. Moreover, the numbers of substitutions made by both sides was equal, perhaps showing consistent tactics applied by both managers throughout the game.

The higher number of corner kicks earned by Cruero, five as opposed to Paranaense's three, might signify a stronger control over the ball in rival's territory. Despite this, Paranaense fired a greater number of shots off target (six) compared to Cruzeiro’s five, hinting at potential wasted opportunities to reverse the game's outcome.

In regards to discipline, neither team received any yellow or red cards, indicating a fairly clean game. However, Cruzeiro committed mildly more fouls than Paranaense, with 12 fouls against 10. This could suggest a slightly more aggressive or sloppy play from the home team, though it didn't demonstrably impact the game’s result.

Finally, there were minor differences in offsides with Cruzeiro at one and Paranaese at two. These minor numbers reflect a fair level of discipline from both sides' attacking lines.

Overall, Cruzeiro EC managed to secure the victory, and key factors include their higher shot-on-target accuracy, a greater number of assists, and capitalizing on their corner-kick opportunities. Despite Paranaense’s spirited performance, their inability to maximize scoring chances ultimately cost them the match.
