In their last encounter on the Serie B front between EC Juventude RS and Botafogo FC SP, it was Botafogo SP that secured their victory by scoring 2-1. Analyzing the game purely from a statistical approach gives us a unique insight into the game that played out on the pitch.

Botafogo FC SP took the lead quickly into the match during the first half at 45:22, possibly gaining an edge in the game morale-wise. However, the home team, EC Juventude RS, managed to tie the score during the second half at 51:40. This did not hinder Botafogo, who ended up scoring again at 59:09 and secured their final lead.

Looking at the disciplinary aspect of the game, Botafogo had four yellow cards to Juventude’s one. This might imply a more aggressive playstyle from the away team, yet they seemed to manage this without overstepping the line since neither team incurred any red cards. However, fouls were less by Botafogo 5, compared to 9 by Juventude, which might suggest an aggressive man-to-man play by the home team, hoping to disrupt Botafogo's rhythm.

In the statistical game, EC Juventude RS dominated the corner kicks, rallying 11 to 7 by Botafogo. This clearly hinted at a significant amount of offensive pressure from the home team, to be pushing Botafogo to concede so many corners.

However, this continuous pressure did not seem to pay off, as Botafogo appeared to handle the situation very well, denying Juventude the opportunity to capitalize on these set pieces. Their defensive capability and team coordination was displayed by successfully defending these crucial situations. Also, this indicates Botafogo's use of dynamic and compact defending, leaving little room for Juventude's striker to exploit.

Offsides were 1 for Juventude and 2 for Botafogo, indicating that both teams pressed higher up the field, consequently playing a high line of defense and actively looking for ways to break the other teams' defense with through balls or long balls towards the opponents' backline.

To conclude, the considerable number of corners for Juventude signifies their offensive pressure, yet it was Botafogo's clinical precision, defensive solidity against corners, and efficient use of chances that won them the game despite Juventude's relentless assault. Their victory, despite less possession as indicated by fewer corners, showcases the effective counter-attacking strategy employed by Botafogo FC SP.
