Sampaio Correa FC sealed a victory over EC Vitoria BA 2-1, in their latest Serie B encounter. The data indicates that their offensive play might have been the key in this match: they had more shots on target (7 against Vitoria's 4), implying they had higher possession and were continuously threatening the opponent's goal. Also, their goalkeeper made fewer saves - 3 compared to Vitoria's 5, perhaps pointing to superior ball control and more effectiveness in their defensive strategy.

Vitoria had one more offside than Sampaio Correa, which can often signify an aggressive offensive strategy or perhaps, a poorly executed plan. Despite having more shots off-target (6) than Sampaio Correa (4), Vitoria could only secure a single goal, thus their interplay within the Sampaio's half may need some improvement.

Fouls statistics also painted a picture of the match, with Sampaio Correa committing slightly more (10) than Vitoria (8). This could potentially indicate a more aggressive playing style from Sampaio Correa or a series of strategic fouls that broke the attack of their opponents. Moreover, Sampaio Correa made full use of their substitutions (3) compared to Vitoria's 2, which could have been a key factor in keeping their team fresh and lively, ultimately helping them maintain the lead.

Interestingly, neither team accumulated any yellow nor red cards, pointing to a game that, despite the intensity, was conducted in a fairly sportsmanlike manner.

Moving forward, Sampaio Correa will likely look to maintain this level of performance, whilst Vitoria will need to understand where their offensive play was lacking to improve their goal conversion rate in future Serie B encounters.
