In the League Cup competition on 01 November 2023, Braga hosted Casa Pia AC in a highly eventful match that saw the home team edge their opponents with a 1-0 win.

Having dominated the match with a total of 11 shots, 4 on target and 7 off target, Braga managed to utilize their opportunities well despite the average saves by Casa Pia AC's goalkeeper. The difference in the quality of shots taken is evident as the winner was confirmed by a single goal out of 4 attempts on goal compared to Casa Pia AC's mere 2 on-target shots out of 6.

Braga's aggressive gameplay was also visible in their 12 fouls. On the other hand, Casa Pia AC seemed to struggle through a more defensive approach as evidenced by their lower count of fouls, 7, showing that they were possibly more passive during the clashes.

The home team constantly threatened Casa Pia AC's defense, managing to win 8 corner kicks over Casa Pia AC's single one, which almost certainly must have left the latter's defence line under constant pressure. This disparity made it clear that Casa Pia AC were mostly defending and struggling to create chances.

Braga's offensive onslaught made a huge difference in the control of the match, clearly indicated by the three offside decisions against them. Casa Pia AC, on the other hand, with only two offsides, indicates a lack of creativity and breakthrough play in the final third.

While both teams were disciplined, not receiving any red or yellow cards, the factor that could have played into the result was the number of substitutions made. Braga utilized their bench strength wisely and effectively with three changes compared to Casa Pia AC's two.

In conclusion, shots on target, fouls, corner kicks, and offsides have been significant elements that shaped the result of the match in favor of Braga. Casa Pia AC were on the back foot due to their less aggressive gameplay and a more defensive approach, making fewer chances for themselves, and struggling to create enough opportunities to score goals.

Overall, Braga's aggressive play, frequent shots on target, and effective utilisation of substitutions proved to be decisive in this interesting clash in the League Cup.
