In the recent Primeira Liga match between FC Vizela and Portimonense, there was an impressive display of skills, tactics, and suspense. The match ended with Portimonense emerging victorious by a small margin (3-2) against the home team, FC Vizela.

The first half was dominated by Portimonense with two goals (34th and 46th minute) and demonstrated clear control of the game. However, FC Vizela made a thrilling recovery in the second half with two goals (58th and 85th minutes), only to have Portimonense snatch the victory at the 87th minute.

Contrarily, the stats marginally favored FC Vizela. This was seen in the significant difference in corner kicks, where Vizela managed to secure 13, in stark contrast to Portimonense's two. However, FC Vizela's inability to convert these opportunities represents a key failing point that contributed to their loss.

Additionally, offsides also depict a difference in gameplay approach. FC Vizela was flagged offside twice as compared to Portimonense's zero offsides. This could be suggestive of FC Vizela's more aggressive approach and long ball gameplay, but it also indicates that Portimonense was better disciplined defensively.

When it comes to disciplinary actions, both teams ended with an equal number of three yellow cards each. However, the timing of the yellow cards warrants mention. FC Vizela's first yellow card came just before their first goal. Portimonense’s three yellow cards came in the last 22 minutes of the game, which might have influenced their game's defensive approach, leading to the equalising goal by Vizela in the 85th minute.

The total fouls were about equal, with FC Vizela committing seven and Portimonense committing eight. This stat didn't seem to favour one side over the other.

To conclude, it appears that Portimonense’s ability to capitalize on their limited opportunities, coupled with disciplined defence, paved the way for their win. Whereas for FC Vizela, despite having more corner kicks and an aggressive approach, their inability to convert from advantageous situations led to their defeat.
