In an intense match, it's the home ground advantage that worked in favor of FC Arouca as they narrowly defeated Boavista 2-1 in an ultimate showcase of the Primeira Liga competition on 14th April 2024, despite having similar disciplinary issues in terms of the awarded yellow cards.

Starting the match aggressively, FC Arouca showed their dominance and intent by scoring two goals within the first half only, with a 0:29:23 and 0:38:21 timestamp respectively. Boavista only managed to retaliate once, that too, in the second half at 0:46:18.

Despite the numerical advantage of 4 corner kicks as compared to the single corner kick that FC Arouca had, Boavista was unable to capitalize on these opportunities to equalize or potentially win the match. Their inefficacy in turning the corners into goals played a crucial role in their loss.

On the misconduct front, both teams had their fair share of disciplinary measures with 3 yellow cards each. However, it was Boavista that had a player sent off with a red card, which further compounded their unfortunate match experience.

Notably, Boavista was caught offside 3 times during the match, noticeably deteriorating their attack quality, played a significant role in keeping the team on the backfoot and leaving them unable to cut down the goals deficit. In contrast, FC Arouca maintained a greater discipline by not being caught offside even once, thus maintaining a consistent offensive pressure on Boavista.

The aggressive gameplay of FC Arouca is quite evident not only from the two goals they scored but also from the higher counts of fouls (9) they committed, against 5 by Boavista, to retain control of the game. This proactive approach ensured fewer opportunities for their opponents to retaliate.

Overall, FC Arouca's performance was a perfect blend of aggressive attacking and disciplined defense, as reflected in their goal tally and lower corner kicks, offsides, and red cards. Boavista's inconsistencies, particularly their offsides and inability to transform corners and a player disadvantage due to a red card, were instrumental in their defeat. With this win, FC Arouca has undoubtedly boosted their confidence for their future matches in the league.
