The 2023 Primeira Liga match between Boavista and Sporting CP was a demonstration of effective offensive football from the away team. Sporting CP, despite making the same number of substitutions as the home team, managed to secure a decisive 2-0 victory. This scoreline can be explained by a disparity in shots on target, where Sporting CP landed 5 compared to Boavista's mere 2.

Sporting CP’s goals were directly associated with their assists, finding their teammates in advantageous positions to execute shots, resulting in two successful conversions. Although both teams had equal substitutions, Sporting CP capitalised on their changes more effectively, maintaining offensive pressure and achieving a superior shot accuracy.

Boavista's performance, unfortunately, failed to match Sporting CP's level. Despite their high number of fouls, 12 compared to Sporting CP’s 8, Boavista didn't make these situations count in their favor, managing only 2 shots on target throughout the game. Their goalkeeper did make 3 saves, but it couldn't nullify the away team's 5 shots on target.

Corner kicks, often a strong indication of attacking potential, were in Sporting CP's favour, at 6 compared to Boavista's 4. Moreover, Sporting’s aggressive play also resulted in more offsides than the home team, albeit ending up offside on 3 occasions against Boavista's 1.

Interestingly, despite the lack of cards on both sides, the team's defensive and offensive aggressiveness were clear through the number of fouls, offsides and corner kicks completed. Although there is no direct correlation between fouls and match outcome, Sporting CP has demonstrated that fewer disruptions to play, combined with a focus on executing effective shots, positively affect their scoring chances.

In conclusion, Sporting CP were victorious thanks to their effective utilization of possession, aggressive attacking style resulting in higher shots and corners, and superior team play leading to successful assists. Conversely, Boavista's lower shots on target, increased foul count, and below-par utilization of corner kicks were their downfall in this fixture.
