In this past Segunda Liga match between SL Benfica B and CD Tondela on December 17, 2023, both teams battled it out in a competitive environment, with each side netting a single goal, leading to a final score of 1-1. However, while the top line scores suggest an evenly matched game, looking deeper into the performance data tells a more nuanced story.

One of the strong impacting factors that stand out in this match was the high number of yellow cards given. A total of nine yellow cards were issued in the game, with SL Benfica B accumulating more (six) compared to CD Tondela (three). This shows that SL Benfica B was playing more aggressively, which could have potentially affected their overall performance and been a contributing factor to their failure to secure a win. Specifically, four yellow cards were issued in the final 30 minutes of the match, suggesting that intensity amped up as the game progressed, and could have possibly led to the late equalizer by CD Tondela.

In terms of controlling the pitch, SL Benfica B demonstrated superiority via their corner kick statistics, where they dwarfed CD Tondela with six corner kicks to one. This usually signifies that the team was more offensive and kept attacking the opponent’s goal. However, this dominant attacking strategy did not pay off in terms of the final score, which could be an indicator of the inefficiency or lack of accuracy during their final touch or finishing.

Both teams had an equal number of fouls - six apiece, suggesting that the match was quite intensely fought.

The goals were scored in the latter half of the game, with SL Benfica B opening the scoring almost 50 minutes into the second half. However, this lead was not held onto firmly, with CD Tondela equalizing in the last twenty minutes of the game.

Even though SL Benfica B had the upper hand in the majority of the game, superior ball control, and more attacking opportunities (as indicated by the high number of corner kicks), they couldn't convert this advantage into a win. This suggests that the high number of yellow cards, indicating a more aggressive than strategic play, might have played a role in this outcome, along with potential missed opportunities in their attacking strategies.

On the other hand, CD Tondela, although being on the back foot for major parts of the game, successfully defended and then capitalized on minimal chances, showing efficient use of opportunities. Their fewer yellow cards perhaps reveal a more disciplined approach to their play.

This gives future bettors a decent insight into how seemingly balanced teams might play out their strategies in the face of competition.
