CD Mafra U23 faced off against SC Farense U23 in an energetic and exciting match in the U23 Liga Revelacao on the 10th of January 2023. The home team, CD Mafra, emerged victorious with a resounding 3 – 1 win.

SC Farense startled everyone by scoring within the first 6 minutes of the game. However, CD Mafra was quick on the comeback and equalized the score by the 23rd minute. The first half of the match was characterized by aggressive tackles as evidenced by the two yellow cards snagged by CD Mafra, one noticeably right after their first goal.

The second half is when CD Mafra really turned the tide. They managed to score shortly in the second half, 56 minutes in, and drove the final nail in SC Farense's coffin with a third goal right up at the 94th-minute mark, therefore demonstrating a notable second-half performance powered by relentless attacking.

One of the key factors contributing to CD Mafra's victory was their potent set-piece prowess. With 11 corner kicks – a figure drastically more than SC Farense's 4 corners, CD Mafra created dynamic scoring opportunities which bolstered their chances to continuously pressurize the away team's defence. SC Farense, on the other hand, were unable to seize the limited opportunities that came their way.

Discipline was also a key playing factor in this match. The home team accumulated a number of 2 yellow cards, while the away team was unblemished by any. However, the turning point in favor of the home team was probably the red card received by the away team, which set back SC Farense as they had to play with one man less.

Briefly, both sides were caught offside twice each, indicating an evenly matched awareness of space and positioning from both sides.

To summarize, CD Mafra's victory came down to their resilience in the face of an early setback, efficient exploitation of set-piece opportunities, and second-half performance which capitalized on SC Farense's diminished squad following the pivotal red card. SC Farense will need to work on making the most of their scoring opportunities and maintaining discipline on the field to turn the odds in their favor in the future encounters.
