In the Serie B competition on July 15th 2023 at 20:00 EEST, Londrina EC PR hosted Vila Nova Goiania in a hard-fought match that saw Londrina emerge victorious with a 1-0 victory.

The critical factor that determined the outcome of this match, beyond a doubt, is the single goal scored by Londrina in the first half at the 01:04 mark, immediately putting the home team on the front foot and giving them a psychological advantage over Vila Nova Goiania. This goal notably came with no need for extra assists, indicating a strong stratagem by Londrina.

Looking at the discipline statistics for this match, there is a striking contrast. Londrina picked up three yellow cards across the course of the match, two in the second half and one in the first half, at the 22:18 mark. This can be interpreted as a tactical approach from Londrina, disrupting the flow of the game to maintain their slender lead despite leading the match in fouls. On the other hand, Vila Nova maintained a clean sheet on this front, indicating either a less aggressive style of play or a greater execution of disciplined defense. Despite three infractions, Londrina managed to avoid any red cards which would have put them at a numerical disadvantage.

Analyzing the tactical approach of the teams, it's clear that set pieces were more prominent for Vila Nova Goiania. They created more opportunities from these positions, winning 4 corner kicks compared to only 2 for Londrina. However, they failed to convert any of these into goals, revealing a possible area where their performance may have been let down.

In conclusion, while Londrina may have been more indisciplined, their ability to score early in the game and then close out the game effectively, helped secure the three points in this encounter. By avoiding red cards despite having three yellows, they managed to maintain their numerical advantage. The ultimate downfall for Vila Nova seems to have come from their inability to convert their corners into goals, despite having twice as many opportunities as Londrina. Lastly, the absence of a scoring effort from Vila Nova speaks of a resilient defense from Londrina - a final key element in their victory.
