In a thrilling Serie A Women's clash at 17:00 EEST on the 10th of February, 2024, Sassuolo significantly turned the tables by securing a 1-0 victory against the titans, AC Milan. However, this fixture was definitely not one influenced purely by fortune, but rather a concentrated synthesis of skill, tactics, and most importantly, data-backed events that tipped the scales in Sassuolo's favor.

The only goal of the match was netted by Sassuolo in the first half, just 32:47 into the game, demonstrating an aggressive offensive approach from the home team right from the onset.

Despite losing the corner kick battle 6-4 to Milan, Sassuolo effectively leveraged their opportunities and ultimately converted one of their fewer corner kicks into the decisive goal. This implies that while the home side may have been outdone in quantity, their quality was superior. The home team’s fewer corner kicks, combined with being caught offside twice, suggests a more compact, defense-heavy strategy that paid dividends in breaking AC Milan's attack.

On the disciplinary front, AC Milan received a significantly higher number of yellow cards, with three bookings compared to Sassuolo's solitary one. With the first card flashed to AC Milan within the first half hour, it suggests an early, possibly disruptive, aggression from the away team. The second and third cards shown to AC Milan within seven minutes of each other, shortly after the home team's goal, could as well indicate frustration and lack of composure, which might have affected their overall game plan.

None of the teams recorded a red card, which meant that even with AC Milan's higher foul count, the unrestrained aggression didn't escalate into a sending off.

Pulling off an offside trap twice against Milan might also have contributed to Sassuolo's efficiency in deadening Milan's assault, ultimately helping to conserve their one-goal margin.

In summary, despite AC Milan having a higher number of corner kicks, Sassuolo managed to remain versatile, combining a solid defensive framework and effective utilization of the few scoring opportunities to edge out their rivals. Furthermore, the home team demonstrated a commendable level of discipline, a factor that could have catalyzed their focus and confidence throughout the match. On the contrary, AC Milan's aggressive playstyle denoted by the yellow cards, and the lack of offside situations could have possibly affected their tactical structure, leading to their defeat.
