Despite not having the majority of corner kicks in the match against Desportivo Chaves, Pacos Ferreira lost 0-2 in this competitive Primeira Liga match on 13th May 2023.

The tale of the match is unforgiving to Pacos Ferreira who, despite eight corner kicks and committing only one foul more than their opponents, failed to convert their chances into goals, while Desportivo Chaves made the most of their chances with just five corner kicks.

The first significant moment of the game came in the 32nd minute of the first half when a Pacos Ferreira's player was issued a yellow card, thus losing some of the team's rigor in their challenges. However, it appears the disciplinary issues didn’t end there for Pacos Ferreira, as they collected two more yellow cards successively at 1:33:36 and 01:33:51 into the match in the second half – eventually leading to a red card due to the two yellow cards received by the same player in the second half. This numerical disadvantage presumably affected their gameplay, reducing their chances of recovering ground.

Desportivo Chaves not only maintained a clean sheet in terms of the disciplinary record but also strategically found the back of the net twice in the second half, at 00:51:18 and 01:18:40, leveraging their numerical advantage to tip the balance in their favor.

The only occasion on which Chaves went offside might suggest that they played a more controlled game, relying less on risky forward runs and more on sustained, consistent pressure – a strategy that seems to have fared well given the scoreline.

With a total of 11 fouls committed by Desportivo Chaves and 12 by Pacos Ferreira, it cannot be said that the loss was due to lack of aggression or effort on the field from either side. However, the distribution of fouls, particularly those leading to yellow and red cards, and the failure to capitalize on corners for Pacos Ferreira, were telling in their impact on the match result.

In essence, this match was characterized by discipline, or lack thereof, and the ability of Desportivo Chaves to exploit the advantages presented to them, thus resulting in a comfortable 2-0 victory over Pacos Ferreira. For football bettors, these statistics paint a compelling narrative about the impact of discipline, strategy and efficient use of opportunities on match outcomes, and should provide valuable insights for future wagering decisions.
