In the Serie B match on June 3, 2023, between Criciuma EC and Atletico Goianiense, the home team, Criciuma EC, managed to secure a decisive victory, scoring three goals against the visiting team, who were unable to respond with any goals of their own.

There were clear differences in how both teams managed their chances in the game. For instance, despite Atletico Goianiense obtaining six corner kicks compared to Criciuma EC's single corner kick, they did not successfully capitalize. The inefficacy of Atletico Goianiense in taking advantage of these set plays could have been a key factor in their failure to score. This also exhibited Criciuma EC’s impressive defensive capabilities.

Another key factor that could have had an impact on Atletico Goianiense's performance is the high number of yellow cards received, indicating their problematic discipline situation. With five yellow cards against them, Atletico Goianiense seemed to struggle with maintaining a clean and measured style of play, which could have possibly impacted their on-field focus, and in turn, their overall performance.

On the other hand, Criciuma EC, while also receiving two yellow cards, were able to maintain their defensive solidity and overall game control. They were also more accurate in their attempts to goal, clearly shown by their three successful goals. Interestingly, each of the home team’s goals were scored in the second half of the match. This could indicate a more aggressive or tactic shift that Criciuma EC enacted during halftime, which evidently paid off in their favor.

The Away team were flagged for offsides zero times indicating either a meticulously disciplined team play or a lesser aggressive approach to goal attempts. Meanwhile, Criciuma EC were flagged offside twice, possibly indicating a more forward-leaning and aggressive attacking strategy.

To sum up, while both teams experienced their fair share of disciplinary issues, Criciuma EC managed to use their opportunities effectively, maintain a solid defense despite having less number of corner kicks, and adopted a successful, perhaps more aggressive, approach in the second half, unlike Atletico Goianiense who were not able to make significant inroads to the opponent’s goal. This match provides a case study in using opportunities effectively, maintaining discipline, and perhaps the need for adapting tactics according to the match situation.
