In the League Cup clash between Casa Pia AC and CD Nacional Madeira on September 28, 2023, a finely poised game ended in a 1-1 draw.

The game's opening goal came early with CD Nacional Madeira making quick work of the first half, scoring a goal in a rather early 2 minutes and 49 seconds. Casa Pia AC struggled for a response and went into the break with a one-goal deficit. However, within a mere 9 minutes of the second half, Casa Pia AC managed to level the game, finding the back of the net at 54 minutes and 11 seconds.

The difference in performance between the two halves for Casa Pia AC was reflected not only in the goal tallies but also in their discipline. Casa Pia AC had a distinctly tough first half with three yellow cards at 16 minutes 7 seconds, 36 minutes 19 seconds and at 41 minutes 26 seconds. Another yellow card was booked for them in the second half at 71 minutes and 44 seconds resulting in a total of 4 yellow cards in the match. On the other hand, CD Nacional Madeira maintained their discipline largely through the game with just a single yellow card received in the second half at 47 minutes and 25 seconds.

The game also highlighted Casa Pia AC's attacking dominance. They accumulated 7 corner kicks compared to CD Nacional Madeira's 2, indicating that they had an upper hand in terms of maintaining an offensive presence in the game. However, CD Nacional Madeira showed a more cautious approach, keeping their offside tally to just a single one, while Casa Pia AC remained disciplined and did not fall into the offside trap even once during the match.

In retrospect, while Casa Pia AC showed a more attacking approach, evidenced by the number of corner kicks, their lack of discipline reflected in their higher yellow card tally could have potentially hampered their goal-scoring opportunities. On the other side, CD Nacional Madeira seemed to have a defensive strategy with less corner kicks and a lower offside count but managed to make their chances count with a crucial early goal.

Overall, the match was a tale of two halves; CD Nacional Madeira dominated the first half with an early goal and lesser fouls despite Casa Pia AC's attacking dominance. In contrast, Casa Pia AC managed to tie the game in the second half with their constant offensive pressure, marking a much-improved performance despite their disciplinary issues.
