This match report is for the Primeira Liga face-off held on the 13th of January 2024 between Casa Pia AC and Famalicao. A substantially physical bout, it ended in a decisive 2-0 victory for the away team, Famalicao, shaping their impressive run in the Primeira Liga.

The first goal came quite early for Famalicao, at precisely 45:57 into the first half. The momentum of that initial score carried them into the second half where they managed to net their second goal at the 65:12-minute mark. Evidently, their offense was proactive and clinical, a factor that significantly impacted the match's outcome.

From a disciplinary perspective, both teams had a single yellow card each. Casa Pia AC's player was booked in the first half at 24:47 while Famalicao's warning came quite late into the second half, precisely at 60:55. However, things turned sour for Casa Pia AC as they were reduced to 10 men, suffering a red card which undeniably had a pessimistic influence on their performance and undoubtedly shifted the balance in favor of Famalicao.

An additional element that affected the game's flow was the number of offside calls. Famalicao was found offside a significant number of times (5), indicating a frequent disruption in their offensive build-up. Nevertheless, this did not seem to deter from their scoring ability. On the contrary, Casa Pia AC was flagged for offside only once during the entire match.

In the battle for set pieces, Casa Pia AC took the lead with 6 corner kicks against Famalicao's 3. However, this advantage failed to be capitalized on, with no goals resulting from these opportunities. Meanwhile, Famalicao struggled to create as many corner kick opportunities but were more successful in converting field play into goals.

On the foul front, Famalicao notched up a total of 12 fouls versus Casa Pia AC's 8. While this figure shows that Famalicao often interrupted Casa Pia AC's flow of play, it did not translate into serious disciplinary action beyond the single yellow card.

In summary, Famalicao’s victory can be largely attributed to their efficient goal scoring, successfully navigating through the match with a man advantage, and managing the disruptive elements, like the numerous offside calls. Casa Pia AC was let down by their inability to maximize corner chances, coupled with the detrimental impact of the red card.
