In the Serie B match between Ceara SC and Vila Nova Goiania held on 20 July 2023, Ceara SC emerged as the triumphant team with a winning goal scored during the second half. The match was a menagerie of game discipline as indicated by the number of yellow cards issued.

Ceara SC sealed their win thanks to the solitary goal scored 01:31:51 into the second half, ending the game with a 1-0 scoreline. Vila Nova Goiania failed to find the net during the entire stretch, which was one of the more significant factors impacting the outcome of the match.

Analyzing the distribution of yellow cards, it is evident that the match was marred by ill-discipline. The away team, Vila Nova Goiania, received four yellow cards entirely in the first half, which indicated a period of intense pressure and possible frustration from the away side. Similarly, the home team – Ceara SC, also received two first half yellow cards but collected a notable majority of their disciplinary sanctions in the second half with three yellow cards. Such a high count of yellow cards from both teams was definitive proof of the passionately contested affair.

Despite being predominantly under pressure as suggested by the number of yellow cards, Ceara SC managed to utilize their corner kick opportunities well. The 7 corner kicks they had was over double than Vila Nova Goiania's 3, improving their chances of scoring despite the away team's defensive pressure. The corner kick discrepancy could have played a crucial role in Ceara SC maintaining a more dominant offensive presence.

Ceara SC also had two offsides during the game which could suggest that they were pressing high to break down Vila Nova's defense. On the contrary, Vila Nova was flagged offside once hinting at their possible struggle to penetrate Ceara SC’s defense.

Although yellow cards do not directly dictate the outcome of a match, the sustained pressure that Vila Nova Goiania faced from Ceara SC is evident in the early issuance of yellow cards. The solitary goal, along with their better utilization of set-piece opportunities, underscores Ceara SC's ability to manage the dynamics of the game more effectively - ultimately contributing to their victory.
