In an exhilarating Taca de Portugal clash on October 21, 2023, between Leixoes SC and Vitoria Setubal, the latter outdid the home team with a tight scoreline of 5-4. The high-paced, tactical encounter bore witness to an unexpected turn of events with an abundance of high-profile statistical factors that influenced the end result.

To kick things off, the home team, Leixoes SC, opened the scoreline at 25 minutes and 37 seconds into the first half. However, Vitoria Setubal levelled the scores with their goal coming late in the second half, at a time stamp of 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 19 seconds. The home team's attempt to regain the lead through a penalty effort landed them a goal, shifting the favor back to them, creating a 2-1 situation.

The shots on target and accuracy seemed to slightly favor the away team, as they managed to forge a comeback with 5 successful attempts on goal compared to the 4 from their rivals. However, the number of corner kicks, often an indicative measure of offensive pressure, slightly favoured Vitoria Setubal too as they had 6 compared to Leixoes Sc 4. This might have given them the slight edge in overall offensive performance.

Discipline was another significant aspect of this match. Leixoes was handed 4 yellow cards, with three of them being dispensed quite closely in the second half at 71 minutes, 29 seconds, and shortly after at 72 minutes, 34 seconds and then again at 83 minutes, 50 seconds. The fourth yellow card was shown in the first half of the overtime at 1 hour, 42 minutes, and 37 seconds. On the other hand, Vitoria Setubal experienced 3 yellow cards, distributed sparsely within the second half and both halves of the overtime.

However, Leixoes's performance was marred by a red card, which presumably caused them a disadvantage in numbers, which may have impacted their overall gameplay and contributed to their defeat. On the contrary, Vitoria Setubal successfully managed to navigate the game without any red card sanctions, which may have contributed to their victory.

In conclusion, the most crucial parameters influencing the match's outcome were the number of goals, discipline-related cards, and corner kicks. Furthermore, Vitoria Setubal demonstrated superior match performance with better conversion rates while Leixoes SC's discipline fell short as it eventually led to a red card, disadvantaging their chances of winning. This was indeed a fiercely contested match that kept spectators hooked till the final whistle with its successive twists and turns.
