In a Serie A clash on 10th May 2023 at 22:00 EEST, SC Internacional hosted CA Paranaense in what turned out to be a disappointing night for the home team that eventually lost by two goals to zero.

Looking at the match from a statistical point of view, Paranaense managed to generate more productivity in the offensive third despite having fewer corner kicks than Internacional who registered four against the away team's three. The two teams were vested equally in terms of foul play, both committing seven fouls, illustrating that the game was evenly contested physically.

Yellow cards played an underestimate role in disrupting the flow of the game, of which Paranaense received double the number as their counterpart. Paranaense received their first yellow card in 28th minute of the first half, meaning they had to show restraint in some potentially critical defensive situations to avoid accumulating more penalties. The remaining three cautions came late in the second half including two just minutes before the final whistle.

However, despite their discipline concerns, Paranaense excelled in maintaining their defensive shape and nullifying Internacional's attacking threats. Their disciplined structural play was reflective in the fact that Internacional were caught offside twice. Paranaense too were flagged for offside twice, marking an even contest in that regard.

Significantly, the timing of Paranaense's goals greatly influenced the match's dynamic. The opening goal came in the 78th minute of play and the second one in the 95th minute. This compact placement of goals allowed Paranaense to effectively manage the game's tempo, and with the yellow cards accumulated, one could argue that they successfully tactically disrupted Internacional's rhythm in the closing stages.

Ultimately, despite having fewer corners and more cautions, Paranaense won the match effectively and efficiently. Their ability to open the scoring late in the game and hold onto the lead, while dealing with an elevated yellow card count, will receive high praise. On the other hand, one would suggest that Internacional, with more corner kicks to exploit, failed to capitalize on their set-piece opportunities and put the Paranaense defense under serious pressure.
