The Serie B match between Ceara SC and Botafogo FC SP played on July 8th, 2023, proved to be a high-scoring event that heavily leaned towards the home team, Ceara SC, in all aspects. The match witnessed an energetic performance from Ceara SC, with the home team outscoring its rival by a significant margin of 3-0.

The first goal came just over half an hour into the first half, setting the tone for the remainder of the match. Not slowing down in the second half, the home team extended its lead with goals at the 80th (01:20:04) and 92nd minutes (01:32:36). There can be no question of Ceara's superior offensive strategy, which overpowered Botafogo FC's defence consistently throughout the game.

Corner kicks, often indicative of attacking prowess, were slightly more under Ceara's control. They managed 4, just one more than Botafogo's 3. However, with Botafogo conceding more yellow cards (2 against Ceara's 1) and offsides (2 against Ceara's 0), we can perceive a slightly more disjointed and desperate effort on their side.

Foul-wise, we had a fairly low anomaly for a football match. Botafogo incurred one more foul than Ceara SC, 4 against 3, which seems fairly similar but in the context of how the play unfolded, it shows a slightly more aggressive and possibly reactive approach from Botafogo, in the wake of Ceara's relentless scoring.

A notable side observation: both teams managed to avoid red cards, which points towards a controlled aggression from both ends, despite the slight imbalance in yellow cards.

As the scoreline indicates, the home team, Ceara SC, dominated the match statistically, with an effective attacking strategy and disciplined defence performance. Their successful conversion of opportunities gave them the upper hand leading to their victory. The two offsides from Botafogo were critical, showing that they were not able to penetrate unsuccessfully through Ceara's well-drilled backline.

The match was a perfect case of statistical dominance translating into the final result, with the scoreboard echoing the flow of the match. Not only did Ceara SC control the match in terms of goals, but they also edged their counterparts in terms of discipline and strategy, illustrated by their fewer yellow cards, fouls, and offsides.
