In a tense and hotly contested Serie B match held on March 18, 2023, the away team, Venezia, nosed ahead of Ascoli FC, securing a victory of 1-0. Despite a robust defence, the home team, Ascoli FC, wasn't able to score against Venezia who were successful in converting a goal opportunity during the second half at 01:30:49.

Focusing on the goals - the numbers tell us something very evident. Venezia was converting their opportunities to real impact with their solitary goal changing the game. Ascoli FC, unfortunately, couldn't capitalize and failed to score any goal. Despite this, it's certainly quite noteworthy that Ascoli FC dominated the corner kicks, recording a total of 10 corner kicks compared to only 1 by Venezia.

These high number of corner kicks suggest Ascoli FC maintained intense pressure on Venezia's defence throughout the match. Yet, Ascoli FC's lack of precision in the final third and Venezia's robust defensive line led to Ascoli FC's downfall as they struggled to find the back of the net.

Moving onto the discipline of the match, it was rather rugged and competitive, evidenced by the total number of fouls and yellow cards. A glaring difference is quite noticeable in terms of fouls, with Venezia committing more than twice the number of fouls Ascoli FC did - 13 to 5. This might indicate that Venezia adopted a more aggressive style of play which, even though led to more fouls, might have disrupted Ascoli FC's rhythm and flow of play.

The match also saw a total of 5 yellow cards being issued, 3 for Venezia, and 2 for Ascoli FC. While Ascoli FC maintained better discipline, Venezia were perhaps fortunate their aggressive play did not result in a red card which could have changed the dynamics of the game heavily.

Ultimately, this narrow victory for Venezia proved that, despite being under pressure (as revealed by the corner kick stats), they managed a more efficient performance, scoring when it mattered the most. Their aggressive style of play, despite resulting in more fouls and yellow cards, ultimately paid off to deliver them the victory. Ascoli FC on the other hand struggled with their finishing touch, and their relative discipline couldn't save them from a defeat at home. This reveals that controlled aggression within the limits of the game rules can often provide a match-winning edge.
