Analyzing the above statistics from the Serie A match on 20th September 2023 between Goias EC and Regatas Flamengo RJ, it is evident that Flamengo's better efficiency in front of the goal led to their 2-1 victory.

Flamengo had a remarkable shot-on-goal ratio; they smashed 11 shots on target versus Goias' 4. Flamengo's 84.6% precision rate (11 out of 13 shots were goal-bound) was substantially superior to Goias' 40%, a clear determinant in the match's outcome.

Flamengo's attacked persistently, as illustrated by their seven corner kicks compared to Goias' five. This pressure resulted in a higher number of shots on goal and ultimately more goals. However, it's also worth highlighting the crucial role of the Goias goalkeeper who made 9 saves, preventing a more pronounced scoreline for Flamengo.

Goais made fewer fouls (11 to Flamengo's 8), indicating they played a cleaner game. Yet, their high number of shots off target (6) compared to Flamengo's 2 indicates a lack of precision in their play which significantly affected the outcome of the match.

In terms of tactics, Flamengo made 3 substitutions compared to Goias' 2, possibly indicating a greater degree of tactical flexibility, which could have been a contributing factor in Flamengo's victory.

The match also saw both teams play a disciplined game without any bookings or sending offs, as neither team received any yellow or red cards.

In conclusion, based on the match statistics, Flamengo's superior shot precision and attacking pressure via corner kicks and shots on target, coupled with their tactical flexibility in making substitutions, emerged as key factors in their victory. Goias lacked precision in their shooting, and despite a sterling performance from their goalkeeper, they couldn't offset Flamengo's offensive strength.
