The Segunda Liga encounter between Uniao Leiria and SL Benfica B on August 19, 2023, saw Uniao Leiria establish a comfortable 3-1 victory over their opponents. There are significant factors and statistics behind this result that need to be elicited for in-depth understanding.

Starting with the critical point of scoring, the home side, Uniao Leiria's significant chunk of scoring was done in the first half itself. They managed to score two goals in quick succession at minute 12:33 and 29:00, seizing the early advantage over SL Benfica B. Though Benfica retaliated with a goal at 35:25, Uniao still managed to keep the lead.

Despite Uniao Leiria being on the backfoot in terms of corner kicks secured (1 compared to Benfica's 5), they were able to maximize their fewer opportunities. On the other hand, Benfica's inability to convert their higher number of corner kicks has had an adverse impact on their chances to equalize or take the lead.

Now to the disciplinary aspect, the home team had a fair share of disciplinary issues. They collected 4 yellow cards to SL Benfica B's 2, with all of these cards for Uniao Leiria coming in the second half of play. It reflects a more aggressive approach from the home team in the latter part of the game, trying to maintain the lead secured.

Uniao Leiria's goal in the second half at minute 70:27 was momentous, extending their lead to 3-1, giving them a significant advantage, and putting pressure on Benfica.

In summary, despite earning more yellow cards and less corner kicks, Uniao Leiria's early scoring, effective use of their corner kick, and the vital extension of the lead in the second half significantly affected the outcome of the match. It seems SL Benfica B couldn't efficiently use their corner kicks and contain the attacking aggression of Uniao Leiria, ultimately leading to their loss.
