Sport Recife and Chapecoense SC faced off in the Serie B match of 22nd October 2023, a tightly contested game that saw both teams drawing at 1-1. Here, our focus will be on the key statistical factors that stood out in shaping the match outcome.

Firstly, the identical goal and assist count for both teams revealed an evenly matched offensive battle. Sport Recife’s higher number of shots on target (5 vs 4) suggests they had been slightly more clinical than their opponents, however, their larger number of off-target attempts (6 vs 5) denotes that they also squandered more opportunities.

Secondly, the defensive display was also quite even for both sides. Chapecoense SC's goalkeeper was considerably busier with 4 saves against Sport Recife’s 3, which technically hints at a higher threat level from Sport Recife. The number of fouls committed by both teams (12 and 13) was virtually identical which are quite high numbers demonstrating the aggressive defensive tactics deployed.

Sport Recife’s high number of corner kicks (8 vs 6) signals they established more pressure on their opponents but it seems they were not able to convert these opportunities to goals effectively. Substitutions count shows a marginally different approach, with Sport Recife choosing to rotate one more squad member than Chapecoense SC. The ability to bring fresh legs might have been an important factor in maintaining the deadlock till the final whistle.

Finally, offsides statistically were quite close, with Chapecoense SC marginally having more offsides (3) than the home team (2). This is particularly indicative of Chapecoense SC's more ambitious but risk-prone tactics in the offensive half.

In conclusion, it was a closely fought contest between Sport Recife and Chapecoense SC. Defensive tactics and indefatigable performances from both goalkeepers kept the teams at bay, while the relatively high number of fouls made it a closely monitored match by the refereeing party. Despite the numerous opportunities that corner kicks presented for Sport Recife, the teams were evenly matched making it a fair conclusion at a 1-1 draw.
