The U23 Liga Revelacao match between CD Mafra U23 and Estoril Praia U23 held on the 7th of November 2023, began with a flourish of action. CD Mafra U23 lost 3-1 against the much more assertive and quick-moving Estoril Praia U23 side.

Estoril Praia U23's dominance was early and unrelenting, as evident by their astounding three goals within a span of 8 minutes in the first half. These rapid-fire goals, coming at 2nd minute, 4th and 16th minute of the first half respectively, provided a significant cushion for the away side. The early goals implied an attacking strategy that worked, keeping the pressure on CD Mafra U23 right from the outset.

In contrast, CD Mafra U3's only successful attempt came later into the second half, at the 57th minute. Despite having slightly less corner kicks (3 as compared to Estoril Praia's 4), CD Mafra U23 couldn't convert these opportunities into productive strikes, which played a significant part in their loss.

Looking at the disciplinary record, CD Mafra U23 collected more yellow cards, with three as compared to Estoril's two. These infractions occurred primarily in the second half, indicating a more aggressive, albeit unsuccessful approach as the home team tried to stage a comeback. An important missed detail in the scoring dynamics is CD Mafra's low offside count (1 compared to Estoril's 4), implying they may not have been making as many aggressive attacking runs as their opponent.

In summary, the match was undoubtedly influenced by the early goals that Estoril Praia U23 scored. Their fast-paced offensive gameplay put pressure on CD Mafra U23 from the very beginning. CD Mafra U23's defensive structure was incapable of managing this, and their lack of effective offensive play, as indicated by the low corner kicks and offsides, proved hindering to their attempted comeback. Their mismanaged aggression only led to disciplinary cards, instead of productive attempts at goal. This analysis highlights the superiority and effectiveness of Estoril Praia's aggressive strategy against CD Mafra U23’s, which was lacking in comparison.
