In the recent Segunda Liga match between AFS Vila das Aves and FC Os Belenenses, AFS secured a narrow victory with a scoreline of 1-0. The match data reveals some interesting insights into the teams’ performances, which no doubt can influence future bets by punters.

The decisive moment of the match came early when Vila das Aves managed to score a goal within the first half at 38 minutes and 3 seconds. This was enough to see them ahead for the duration of the game. This goal arguably set the tone for the rest of the game, with Vila das Aves maintaining their lead, despite a flurry of yellow cards.

The data highlights an aggressive approach by both teams, reflected in their respective yellow cards. Five yellow cards were dealt in total. With the home team taking the majority with three cards. Interestingly, however, none of the yellow cards from either side were converted into a red card, which shows disciplined restraint from both teams despite their aggressive approach.

A key aspect that may have played a role in AFS Vila das Aves' win is the number of corner kicks they won. With 7 corner kicks to their name compared to Belenenses' 6, they earned more set piece opportunities. While it's hard to determine from the data whether the goal came from one of these corner kicks, it can be stated with certainty that dominating corner kicks created more goal-scoring opportunities for Vila das Aves.

Belenenses fell just short in this aspect, however, as they earned only 6 corner kicks and failed to convert any into goals. Their yellow card late in the second half at 49 minutes and 13 seconds could've potentially disrupted their momentum or shift the team's focus to more defensive tactics.

Overall, the key statistical factors which seemingly had a significant impact on the outcome of the match were the early goal scored by Vila das Aves and their marginally better performance in set pieces, reflected in their higher number of corner kicks. Their ability to maintain discipline under pressure, despite three yellow cards, could also be considered crucial in safeguarding their narrow lead.

However, it's fair to say that luck also played a role in this game, as one goal difference is a slim margin, and the aggressiveness showed by Vila das Aves nearly cost them the game, collecting more yellow cards could have potentially turned the game around had a red card ensued. Further data would certainly provide a deeper understanding of the flow and dynamics of the game. As it stands, both teams displayed good teamwork and robust performances, and the narrow win by Vila das Aves underlines a very competitive match.
