On 25th August 2024, CS Maritimo hosted Desportivo Chaves in a Segunda Liga fixture that ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams exhibited contrasting styles of play, with Maritimo showing more disciplined defense and Chaves adopting a more aggressive approach, evident from their higher number of yellow cards.

Maritimo broke the deadlock in the second half with a goal at 57:11. Prior to the goal, they had been more conservative with only two fouls and a couple of yellow cards, compared to Chaves’ three yellow cards soon after halftime. Despite this more disciplined play, they only managed to win one more corner kick than Chaves, indicating a slight edge in creating set-piece opportunities.

Chaves, however, showed resilience, managing to equalize at 1:33:25 of the second half. Their aggressive tactics, reflected in three yellow cards within nine minutes of the second half, showcased their determination to press high and disrupt Maritimo's play. The lack of any fouls by Chaves was surprising given their high yellow card count, suggesting tactical fouls were avoided but physical confronting was prevalent.

In terms of teamwork and performance, Maritimo’s restraint might have born fruits with a solitary foul, but their inability to sustain pressure allowed Chaves to claw back into the game. Chaves' aggressive pressing paid dividends as they pushed forward persistently, ultimately finding an equalizer rather late in the match.

The factors with the most significant impact were Chaves' yellow card offenses, which although disrupting Maritimo’s flow, also showed a lack of discipline which could have cost them dearly. On Maritimo’s side, effective use of corner kicks and maintaining fewer fouls highlighted a level of tactical awareness, but failure to maintain the lead pointed to potential defensive lapses or lack of offensive firepower in the latter stages.
